Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the Spring Brewfest held?

The Brewfest is held in Washington Crossing, located in beautiful Bucks County, PA. The Brewfest site is located right next to the Delaware River in a shaded, wooded landscape. It is in the upper part of the park, behind the historic Thompson Neely House and Farmstead. This is across River Road from Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve, which is located 2.5 miles from the center of New Hope and 4.5 miles from the four-way stop sign in Washington Crossing, PA.

The address is 1638 River Road, New Hope, PA 18938.

Do I need a photo ID, even if I am obviously over 21?

Pennsylvania state law stipulates that everyone who enters the Brewfest must present a valid photo ID. We will check all IDs at the gate.

Can I re-enter the Spring Brewfest once I've left?

Once you have left the grounds, you may not re-enter. Bathrooms, water and food are available on the grounds.

Can I buy beer at the Brewfest?

This is a sampling event only. Guests will receive two-ounce pours of many different kinds of beers.

What are my transportation and parking options?

Please designate a driver (a very limited number of DD tickets are available) or take advantage of a rideshare after the event. Parking will be clearly marked.

Attendees being picked up or dropped off by friends or a ride-sharing service should do so only at the designated pick-up points on site. Attendees may not walk through private property or along River Road when arriving or leaving the event. Bowman’s Tavern is NOT a drop-off/pick-up location and has a zero tolerance policy about serving anyone visibly intoxicated.
