It’s back, it’s the fall edition of the Big Brew Beer Festival. Here’s what we know from Allison, who puts on the event.
We would like to invite you to once again be a part of our September 28, 2013 BIG BREW BEER FESTIVAL – FALL FEST at the Morristown Armory in Morristown, NJ. This event will have 2 blockbuster sessions, with a separate VIP lounge, special Fall Ales and over 175 craft beers. Entertainment for Session 1 will be DJ Richie Moscola, and Session 2 will feature top Jersey cover band Mr. Lovejoy.
Our last Big Brew in February was a sold out event and very successful. But as you are also aware, there was also a major malfunction with the scanning equipment from our old ticket company, which created a backlog at the front door and delayed entry for some our customers. This Fall-Fest event will be even better, particularly a VIP section with fantastic food and perks, and how we streamlined the entry process to prevent long waiting lines.
Other additions to the Fall-Fest event:
-Two-tasting sessions
-Eight check-in points
-Real-time ticket scanning (with a ticket company rep on-site)
-Additional bathrooms
-Dedicated entrance and separate exit
-Rinsing stations throughout the event
-Furnished smoking lounge hosted by JR Cigars
VIP ticket holders will enjoy several special benefits including an extra hour per session, a VIP-only buffet presented by Morris Tap and Grill of Randolph, NJ, a special VIP-only presentation of braising short ribs with beer by Food Network “Chopped” Champion Chef Eric LeVine, a special VIP gift and more than a dozen VIP-only rare beers available throughout the event.
Session times are as follows:
Session 1: 1 pm – 4:30 pm VIP extra hour 12 pm -1 pm
Session 2: 7 pm – 10:30 pm VIP extra hour 6 pm -7 pm

I’d like to try the Cow Puncher IPA, as I’ve never had it
I’d like session 2, VIP if possible.
I’ve been an NJCB member for two years – joined in Milltown at one of the beer can/breweriana shows.
And this time, I can actually go (unlike the one in Egg Harbor)…
I’m the Al above. Figured my full name might help – it was late when I posted the above comment. If I’m the only one that figures it out, do I win???
Love Dream Weaver of Troegs…but notwithstanding I just like that brewery. I got me a shirt from there…everyone thinks I work there…
I would love the night session…
See..I talk about beer and forget the directions…
Been a card carrier for a bit over a year.
