– You must have a ticket to enter Wellington Brewfest. They need to be able to control the number of people in Centennial Park, so they are limiting entries to people with tickets. Leave your kids, pets, and other non-ticketed folks at home.
– Instead of reusable tasting cups, they will be offering single-use compostable tasting cups. They will have commemorative glasses available for sale. Wellington, CO
