Sprung! is back for 2018 at a new Wynwood location, offering the unlimited craft beer samples everyone craves, and a brand-new theme.
The fun takes place on Saturday, Apr. 7, 2:30-7 p.m., at Wynwood Marketplace, 2250 NW Second Ave.
Beer and sports always have been a winning combination, so SWARM has brought the two together to make this annual Sprung! Spring Beer Festival the most fun, free-spirited, beer-tasting event in town. More than 15 million ounces of beer have been served in the five years of Sprung!, and for 2018, people can expect to see more beer games, more entertainment, more cooking demos, more food, and naturally, more beer.
Beer enthusiasts from all over go for the unlimited beer tasting of over 300 craft beers; others go for the fun. Whatever the reason, 100 breweries have signed up already, and many are bringing their extra special, limited release beers.
Now taking place at the Wynwood Marketplace, beer lovers can play against their friends in a variety of games such as Flip Cup, 2-person Beer Pong, 1-on-1 Beer-in-Hand H.O.R.S.E., Cornhole and other friendly games. Dare to compete for awesome beer prizes in the pong and flip cup tournaments run by CLUBWAKA, Miami’s premier adult-rec leagues, and hosted by Miami’s Instagram craft beer diva, @Brew.Babe
A Sprung! favorite is The Kitchen Lab, which will once again offer cooking demos and samplings from some of the best South Florida’s chefs showing how to make dishes that either use craft beer as an ingredient or pair well with beer. The Thrifter Marketplace will feature artisan-crafted goods and artwork, and the mainstage will showcase live music and deejays. In addition, Miami’s food trucks will be present to offer their best bites.
While everyone is busy sampling beer, eating and having fun, Sprung! creators will be working towards becoming a zero waste event with the help of Debris Free Oceans. Beginning with this festival, SWARM will take several measures into account, including managing the sorting, composting and recycling stations at the festival.
