General admission tickets for Snallygaster are still available, and a reminder that this event is for a good cause, but by the time you read this it may have sold out. If you can’t make it on Saturday for whatever reason worry not: some of the best of the festival will be available before and after this weekend, mostly at Neighborhood Restaurant Group properties like Churchkey, The Sovereign, Rustico, and Shelter/The Roost. If you’re going to Snally, here’s a chance to set brewery expectations and maybe tick off a few of the festival beers beforehand, freeing up room for others on Saturday. The fun starts tonight!

It’s a Pre-Snally Lager Rally! “We’re warming up for Snallygaster with a full week of lagers, and we’re kicking things off early with our friends from out of town! Expect crisp, clean pours from:
• Alternate Ending Beer Co. (@aebeerco) – Aberdeen, NJ
• Wild East Brewing (@wildeastbrewing) – Brooklyn, NY
• Wayward Lane Brewing – Schoharie, NY
• Sojourn Fermentory – Suffolk, VA
• Schilling Beer Co. – Littleton, NH”

Friday, Bluejacket, 12pm:
From the brewery: “The star of the show, Hasta La Raiz: Esa Morena, is a Mexican-style dark lager rooted in memory, migration & resilience. Crafted with a touch of smoked sea salt, it unfolds slowly. Layers of cacao husk, piloncillo, and dark toast drift into soft salinity and smoke, like the lingering scent of woodfire in coastal air. At just 5.0% ABV, it remains light on the palate, yet deep with intention.
Part of the national Hasta La Raíz project, this beer stands in solidarity with immigrant communities across the Americas. 10% of proceeds support Freedom for Immigrants, working to end immigration detention and build a world where everyone belongs.”
- Bluejacket Hasta La Raiz: Esa Morena (Mexican Dark Lager w/ Smoked Sea Salt (MiLuna Collab.)

Friday, Andy’s Pizza – Shaw, 3:30 – 9pm:
The beer list is TBD–though we know Dovetail will be pouring there–but this is always a good time with some excellent beers under 6% ABV and brewers in attendance. Highly recommended. Speaking of Shaw, watch this space.
Friday, Other Half, 12pm:
Other Half collaborates with a lot of breweries. We wouldn’t be surprised if Monkish, everywhere, and others made an appearance on the OH taplist, with brewers in attendance. It’s happened before, and we think it’ll happen again at some point between noon and 5pm on Friday. Watch their social media for more information.
