Can tickets be bought at the door, or is it online only?

Thanks for the offer, Joel, but there will be food available. No need to hassle with the Weber. But, we do usually do a bottle share behind the bar, so bring some tasty brews to share!

Remember, if you bring beer to pour for the crowd you get free admission. Just for you though. Not your entire family or anything.

Was another great Benz Fest, despite the less-than-ideal weather! Poured a lot of beer, drank a lot of good beers, too! Well Done, CRBS!!!

I agree with Tony. Good time and we poured some great beers. We are always a crowd favorite at that event.

Stopped by Benz to pickup my corny keg after the fest since I didn't have a car that day. And, they don't have it. Did anyone of you take it for me? I appreciate the help.
