To our Big Brew customers - Thank you for your support of the Big Brew NJ Festival.

After carefully reviewing ticket sales and the overall logistics of the event, we have made the heartbreaking decision to cancel this year’s festival.

Our goal has always been to provide a vibrant, well-attended event that delivers value to our guests, participating breweries, and vendors. At this time, ticket sales would not allow us to meet that goal.

All ticket purchases will be fully refunded. Please allow 7–10 business days for the refund to appear on your credit card statement.

We truly appreciate your understanding and continued support, and we hope to be able to raise a glass together in the future.

Cheers,
The Big Brew NJ Festival Team
