Nearly two months after announcing the return of the WeldWerks Invitational, WeldWerks Brewing Company has the details we really need: which breweries are going, and when do tickets go on sale?

While national protocols are still far from established, WeldWerks took the past couple months to iron out some of the finer details related to the pandemic in addition to developing a code of conduct for attendees. The latter came in response to Brienne Allan’s recent movement to expose sexism, misogyny, and harassment within the industry, and WeldWerks, which was not named, decided to take the proactive approach to ensure a safe festival-going experience.

In addition to the updated protocols, full details have finally been announced regarding pre-sale tickets, which will be available on Thursday, July 1 at 6pm MST through Wednesday, July 7 at 6pm MST. The pre-sale is open to anyone who purchased a ticket to last year’s canceled Invitational. Those folks will be emailed a link to the presale on June 29, and each person’s allotment will be capped at the same ticket quantity that was purchased in 2020 (so, no buying extra tickets even if you’re a previous ticketholder). Tickets cost $125 per person and grant you access to one session, the morning or the evening (both are identical in breweries, beers, and length.)

All remaining tickets after the pre-sale will be available to the general public on Saturday, July 10 at 10am MST. In an effort to promote safety for all, attendees must also agree to WeldWerks’ code of conduct, which can be found here.

The kicker here is that due to COVID safety measures, the festival size is shrinking by over 25%. This translates to about 500 tickets per session. Right now it’s tough to say how many tickets will end up hitting that general public sale, if any. It’s even possible that tickets sell out during pre-sale before all previous guests get a ticket. We won’t know until the pre-sale goes live, but we strongly recommend that you treat this like a Medianoche release and set an alarm to be on Eventbrite right at 6pm MST on July 1. Otherwise, there’s no guarantee you’ll get to enjoy the crazy rare brews.
