This Saturday, Aug. 7, in downtown Durham, North Carolina, Hi-Wire Brewing is throwing a ‘90s, beach-themed LagerFest. Complete with 20 lagers (list below), live music and a waterslide, LagerFest promises to heat things up and cool them off at the same time!

What you will not receive:

  • Child care for your kids. LagerFest is for ages 21 and up.
  • Pet care for your animals. LagerFest is pet-free.

From 12-3 p.m., DJ Chris Donato will be filling the air, followed by West Carolina rockers Andrew Scotchie and the River Rats from 3-5 p.m. When you get hungry, Succotash food truck will be on-site, and J. Lights Market & Cafe is right next door. Strewn about the nearly-1,700 square feet of covered patio and beer garden, there will be a dunk tank, group games and even a costume contest. I have it on good authority that LagerFest is going to be well-attended, so don your best ‘90s beach gear and get ready for a rad afternoon!
