Soccer and craft beer. Are there any other words that pair as nicely together?


Soccer and craft beer. Are there any other words that pair as nicely together?

How about getting a cheap ticket to see your favorite team kick some ass and get a free beer from one of 20 craft breweries? Even better.

Well this Saturday, the Richmond Kickers Craft Beer Fest, an event featuring 20 craft beers and ciders on tap including SweetWater, Shiner, Bulevard, Foothills, Lonerider, LostRhino and Wildwolf.

Ben Terry, Director of Sales for the Richmond Kickers, said this is the second year the soccer team has thrown the Craft Beer Fest, which is presented by Loveland, and it was a huge success last year.

“With nearly 20 brands represented this weekend, we think our fans will enjoy trying out some new styles they might have never seen or heard of before,” Terry said. “With the local and national boom in the craft industry, the Kickers are proud to work with our partners in bringing a wide variety of flavors and styles to City Stadium this weekend, and throughout the season.”

Terry said they expect attendance to be strong for this year’s Craft Brew Fest as well.

The beer fest costs $12 which will get you into the event, one beer and a Kickers cup. The party will kick off at 5:30 pm with live music and local food trucks such as Boom Boom Boca, and Sticks Kebob Shop.

The Kickers will take on the Harrisburg City Islanders at City Stadium. Game time starts at 7:00 pm.

The Richmond Kickers’ Craft Beer Fest is this Sat. Aug 1. Get your tickets here.
