Calling all brew fans – the Voracious Rare Beer Festival is the prime opportunity to discover a world of new flavors without ever leaving the heart of downtown Wilmington. Appropriately held in the month of October, this annual festival features plenty of great tastes to go around, with dozens of participating breweries and eateries, and ample reasons to raise a pint and toast the town.

The Voracious Rare Beer Festival is ideal for people who love a good brew, and who are always searching for the latest and greatest beer in the region, and from around the globe. The event takes place aboard the deck of the historic USS Battleship North Carolina, and features a hefty sample of the private reserves of more than 30 of the region’s favorite breweries. With beers that can’t be found anywhere else, the event is a great way to discover those incredible “rare” varieties that are brimming with excellent taste. Complete with live music, a selection of tempting appetizers, and brewers on hand to answer any and all beer questions, the Voracious Rare Beer Festival is a fantastic way to discover the great tastes of Wilmington. The event tends to sell out every year, so beer fans will want to reserve their tickets as soon as possible.
