Beer Mile & Summer Beer Olympics x Velum Fermentation | Part of the 2024 PA Brewery Running Series™

Join us for a DAY OF PLAY at Velum Fermentation!

In the spirit of friendly competition this Olympic season, we've lined up a DAY OF PLAY with a Beer Mile followed by playful Beer Olympics games at this awesome taproom in the South Side. Whether you're a seasoned tri athlete or just looking for a fun way to stay active, this event is fun for all.

The Beer Mile: get your heart pumping as you walk, jog, or skip 4 laps around the Velum block (4 laps = 1 mile!). The challenge? Every quarter mile there is a Velum pour to be enjoyed before you proceed with the next lap.

The Keg Course: complete the course with tenacity & agility

Flip Cup: A classic that can be anyone's game!

**Additional challenges may be added closer to event time**Events in the game room focus on skill - we do not condone excessive drinking/chugging**

After you complete the Summer Beer Olympics games, refuel with the on site food truck, get social & enjoy the day's entertainment, giveaways, and activities. Velum also offers pickleball, ping pong, and arcade games so you can keep the friendly competition going!

***TShirt packages are PRE ORDER ONLY and available for a limited time - until June 30, 2024***

So gather your friends and come join us at Velum Fermentation on July 20, 2024.See you there!
