The Oscar Station

6:00pm - 9:00pm

Jungle Jim’s Craft Beer Festival is a sudsy spectacular dedicated to everything awesome about craft beer: its creation, the breweries, the people behind them, and their fans! This year, we're splitting Beer Fest into an afternoon and evening session: 1:00PM-5:00PM & 6:30PM-10:30PM on June 21.
Presented by our award-winning Beer Department, one of the Top 4 Beer Retailers in the country, our Craft Beer Festival is a celebration of what we already do year-round and a way for you to enjoy some of our favorites! When the doors to The Oscar Station open, you’ll be swept into an adventure through the world of craft beer! With your 6-ounce tasting glass and your trusty tasting guide in hand, you’ll be welcomed into the festival by 400 beers from over 100 breweries. You’ll get to commune with like-minded beer enthusiasts, sample and sip all night long, and use your tasting guide to take notes on your favorites.
If you get hungry, food trucks will be on-site with plenty of unique bites available for purchase!
