Brew & Choo Festival

August 12, 2023, Spencer

Visit the N.C. Transportation Museum in Spencer this August for the Brew & Choo Festival. Craft brewers will be onsite for visitors to purchase and sample their original ales. Enhance your experience by purchasing a train ride ticket. While aboard, you’ll get to sample brews crafted specially for this event. It’s a one-of-a-kind beer tasting experience you’re sure to raise your glass to. Train ride times are 4 p.m., 5:15 p.m., and 6:30 p.m. Seating is limited, so hurry before tickets sell out.

The festival will also include a variety of food trucks serving up delicious pairings. Enjoy lawn games and other activities like Balloon Twister at this family-friendly event.

Note: Table seats are purchased individually. Parties wishing to purchase seats together at the same table are encouraged to purchase under one ticket order to assure being seated together. If a party does not purchase all tickets at a table, there is the possibility of another party purchasing the remaining tickets at the table.

The festival takes place from 4 to 9 p.m. Admission is $5 for guests age 21 and up and free for those age 20 and under. These prices do not include taxes or fees. Learn more at nctransportationmuseum.org/brew-and-choo.
