There’s just something so special about hopping on a train with friends to the wide open space we call Fir Station " our “little piece of Heaven” custom-built for the railroad meant to highlight how nature can so perfectly complement music. The Rails & Ales Brewfest brings together brewers and their devoted fans, a hardy group that understands the simple truth of this event " you only get here by rail and it doesn’t get any better than this.

Ticket includes round-trip train ride, access to the Brewfest and a commemorative beer glass.

Must bring I.D. and be over 21 years of age to receive an alcohol access wristband. Don’t wait to buy tickets, this event sells out fast and the 12th annual Rails & Ales promises to be the best yet.
