On Friday, Oct. 27, Nortons Brewing Company will transform their space to the scariest, heaviest, most rare beer festival around. It’s time to free up your evening for Norton Brewing Company’s Beer and Metal Fest.
Here are the details for the event:
Doors at Nortons Brewing Company will open at 6 p.m. only to Fest ticket holders. Event attendees will have full access to Nortons until 9 p.m., at which time, the festival opens to the public. It’s the best way to ensure yourself ample time and space to enjoy it without the major crowds.
Upon arrival, ticket holders will be greeted with a custom drinking vessel, which I’m told is a bad ass glass. You’ll also receive a ticket for a full pour of “Dad The Metal Head”.
20 breweries from all over the country will be scattered inside Nortons and on their garden space, pouring rare, one-off beers that you may likely have never had.
Breweries include:
• Our Mutual Friend (CO)
• Surly (MN)
• Alvarium (CT)
• Pilot Project (IL)
• Martin House (TX)
• Stonecloud (OK)
• Natural State (AR)

On top of the beer, there will be four metal bands ready to provide the soundtrack to the event. Music starts at 6:30 p.m. and will go on until 11 p.m.
Bands include:
• Imajjjin
• Parthian
