This is an outdoor festival showcasing over 200 unique beers from national breweries, which can be sampled with the purchase of an entry wristband. There will also be local live music on two stages and craft booths curated by the Louisiana Crafts Guild.

Gulf Brew is offering three different ticket packages this year: General Admission, VIP, and Designated Driver Experience. General Admission is $30, excluding fees, until August 31 when the price will rise to $40. The General Admission ticket provides "all-you-can-sip" of the 200+ beers available.
