Tryon is planning the area’s first-ever beer fest, called Tap into Tryon, which will be held in the Tryon Depot Plaza. The event is planned for Nov. 10, 11 a.m. until 5

p.m.
An array of ‘craft’ beers will be chilled, ready for sampling. Full servings of beer will be available for sale along with authentic German food and large soft pretzels. Non-alcoholic beverages and water will be available. Live Bavarian music will be played most of the day.
Event chair Shelly Block said the Tryon Beer Fest will provide the occasion to taste a spectrum of beers produced by smaller breweries. Mass-produced beer will not be represented.
“The Tryon Beer Fest offers the opportunity to sample a dozen or more crafted beers not generally available at retail stores simply because they are not produced in enough quantity for broad distribution,” Block said. “And a beer festival such as ours is an inexpensive way of becoming familiar with quality beers. People hesitate to pay a premium price for a six pack of beer that may not agree with their taste buds.”
The originator of the Tryon Beer Fest is the Tryon Downtown Development Association (TDDA).
“TDDA wants to introduce still another venue for folks from the surrounding area to visit and get to know Tryon,” said member Bill Crowell. “Proceeds from the beer fest will be put back into projects that improve our town and make it even more appealing for visitors and people looking for a fun place to live and do business.”
“We think local people as well as out-of-towners will have a unique experience when they ‘Tap Into Tryon’ on Nov. 10,” Crowell added.
Tryon Beer Fest tickets will be limited. For more information, visit www.tryonbeerfest.com.
