The Great American Beer Tasting is back at Fifth Third Field and bigger than ever

The Great American Beer Tasting event in Dayton is, in short, a home run for beer enthusiasts.

It's almost time for the Dragons' 11th Annual Great American Beer Tasting, presented by Heidelberg Distributing Company. More than 100 beers will be ready for tasting from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 11, at Fifth Third Field.

According to event organizers, this year's event showcases the largest number and widest variety of beers in Great American Beer Tasting history. "Popular big-name brews will sit side-by-side with some of the smallest craft beers on the market. You can see the entire lists of beers that will be available at untappd.com."

Unfortunately, the window to get a free T-shirt with your ticket purchase closed on June 1. However, a limited number of shirts will be available for $10 the day of the event at Fifth Third Field.

Tickets are $30 in advance and $40 the day of the tasting. Tickets include more than 100 beers to choose from, a 2018 Great American Beer Tasting pint glass, activities and games on the field, 20 4-ounce samples of beer, and a raffle ticket for prizes from Heidelberg Distributing and the Dragons.
