Patrons receive tickets for 10 four-ounce beer samples to taste beers from over 50 regional and national breweries. There will also be a “designated driver” ticket for $10 that includes two non-alcoholic beverages. Beerfest will also showcase craft beer seminars; live music; and a variety of food trucks.

Detroit-based Atwater Brewery and PS&E are co-hosting a contest to name an exclusive craft beer which will be featured at this year’s Michigan Beerfest. Beginning April 25, applicants 21 years and older can go to www.palacenet.com\craftbeer to submit their name for the craft beer. The submissions period will close May 2 at 5 p.m.

A panel of judges will narrow the entries down to three finalists, and the winning craft beer name will be selected by online voting from May 7 to May 21. The grand prize winner, whose name was selected, will receive four passes to this year’s Michigan Beerfest. The remaining finalists and one randomly selected voter will also receive two passes.

“As Detroit’s brewery, Atwater is excited to participate and partner with the 2014 Michigan Beerfest and showcase our award winning products to the best beer drinkers in the country,” said Mark F. Rieth, Atwater Brewery Owner. “We enjoy collaborating with other local companies like PS&E to make theexperience even better for the public and this is going to be a great one!”
