Tickets on sale for Mississippi’s first high-gravity beer festival on July 28 in Jackson
Tickets are on sale for the 3rd Annual Top of the Hops Beer Fest in Jackson, which will be held July 28 at the Jackson Convention Complex.
And thanks to a change in state law, the festival will be the first in Mississippi to feature higher-gravity beers.
More than 150 different beers will be available at the event, which runs from 4 to 8 p.m., and patrons can get unlimited 2-oz. samples.
General admission tickets are $35 in advance and can be purchased online. A limited number of VIP tickets are available for $75, which includes entrance to the festival an hour early, access to a VIP area, beer tasting selections not available to general admission ticket holders and complimentary food from 4-7 p.m.
In April, Governor Phil Bryant has signed a bill, effective July 1, that raises the alcohol-by-weight limit in beer from 5% to 8%,
