Is there a Cover Charge?  YES! 

REQUIRED FOR ENTRY: A $10 Angry Bear wristband will be required for entry and serves as your ticket onto the festival grounds. Wristbands will be for sale leading up to and during the festival. No refunds.

REQUIRED FOR BEVERAGES: Angry Bear goblets and premium vessels will be for sale along with the drink tokens for those bears looking to quench their thirst after an extra-long hibernation. Vessels and tokens will be for sale leading up to and during the festival. 

Can I purchase wristbands, vessels, and tokens in advance? Yes you can! Token and cup packages will be available for presale in the weeks leading up to the festival.*We highly encourage purchasing your wristband, preferred vessel and tokens in advance, so you can maximize your pawty time and catch a lil’ deal.*

Will the tap room be open prior to the festival? No. The tap room and festival grounds will open promptly at 3pm.

Age Restrictions: All bears must be 21+, baby bears will not be permitted. *Whether you pre-purchase your wristband or not, ALL IDs WILL BE CHECKED AT THE GATE (no matter how grey your hair is). If you’re an underage bear and try to get in or don’t have your ID, wristbands will be removed with no refund.  

Can I bring in water? NO CARRY INS WILL BE PERMITTED. You are welcome to bring a water bottle or purchase a fancy limited edition Angry Bear Nalgene at the festival swag shop, but it must be filled within the festival grounds. We’ll have water stations throughout the festival grounds, generously provided by Norway Springs  

Will N/A beverages be available? Yes! With the purchase of an Angry Bear vessel we will have bubbly water and house-made rootbeer available on tap for free. We will also have several canned N/A options available for purchase.

Will there be draft cocktails available? Yes! We will be crafting some lower octane draft cocktails which will be available on draft at all the bars. 

Will there be programming in your new spaces? Yes! We will have programming and music on the Biergarten throughout the festival with outside service via The Station. 

What’s all this about tokens? By implementing a token system in 2023, we were able to speed up the beer lines and keep your cup full all day & night! In addition, we have made the festival tip-less, as gratuity is included in each pour.

Tip-Less? Yeah, you read that right. A portion of each purchase goes directly to our service team. If you want to go above and beyond, extra tokens, cash, and/or kindness will be graciously accepted at all bars.

Any more brainbusters? Stay Tuned for more announcements and details as they are solidified for this year’s festival. If you have any more burning questions feel free to call the tap room @ 906.228.8888 or email info@oredockbrewing.com
