Brought to you by the minds behind DC’s Bluejacket, Churchkey, Sovereign and more, this is far and away the biggest event of the year for beer geeks of every stripe. So be sure to get your tickets ASAP then sign up for our mailing list and follow us on twitter, facebook & instagram.
2019 ALL INCLUSIVE PASSES
THIS YEAR, THE BUCKS STOP HERE
This year, we are retiring the Snallybucks in favor of a simpler ticket model: Pay a flat fee for your admission + UNLIMITED (YES, UNLIMITED) beer and wine tastings. Food and merchandise can be purchased with cash or credit card throughout the venue. And as we fully expect to sell out this year, we strongly encourage you to purchase your passes well in advance for guaranteed admission.
There are two options to choose from, both of which include a commemorative tasting glass and unlimited beer & wine tastings. The VIP Basilisk pass also includes 2 hours of early access to all of the beers and is key to tasting the rarest selections that may run out prior to the official 2 PM start. There are a strictly limited number of these passes available, and they will sell out, so please don't delay if choosing this option.

Where is Snally?
With the Capitol building as our backdrop, Snallygaster lives smack dab in the heart and hubbub of DC on Pennsylvania Ave NW between 3rd & 6th - a location that provides a huge footprint to allow for fewer, quicker lines along with plentiful seating, shaded areas, restroom access and room to roam. As always, we strongly discourage driving to the event - for many reasons, not the least of which is that there truly is no parking to be had. Instead, take the metro or use the new Bid2Ride app and get $15 off your ride. You’ll be glad you did.
What Is Snally?
Snallygaster is Washington DC's, beastliest beer festival and makes its triumphant return to DC for its eighth year as a rollicking salute to the planet's finest craft beer. For one day and one day only, we’ll unleash no fewer than 400 of the craftiest craft beers and ciders from 150+ producers against a backdrop of the best of the best in food trucks, live music, fun and games.
Far and away the biggest event of the year for beer geeks of every stripe. And yes, this is absolutely a family-friendly affair, so grab the kids and come out for a day full of fun in downtown DC.
What’s It All For?
Snallygaster serves as the largest annual fundraiser for Arcadiafood.org, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a more equitable and sustainable local food system in our region right here in our own backyard.
By attending Snallygaster you are supporting the demonstration farm in Alexandria (where they grow food using sustainable practices and host thousands of school kids to teach them about farming & healthy foods), two mobile farmer’s markets dedicated to under-served & low-income neighborhoods, a veteran's program and so much more. Haven't heard of them? You should, they're doing some very cool things right here in our own backyard.
“Snallygaster is more than just DC’s best beer festival - in terms of scope, ambition and sweet, sweet beer nerd cred, it’s the best beer festival in the Mid-Atlantic region. It’s easily one of the best on the East Coast, and maybe one of the best in the country”
