Annual Big Ears Beer Exchange hosted by Suttree’s High Gravity Tavern

Join us for the annual Big Ears Beer Exchange hosted by Suttree’s High Gravity Tavern on Saturday, March 25 from 1PM until 3PM. Co-hosted by friends of the festival Charles and Bruce Gearhart, the exchange will feature rare, hard to find, and unique beers. We encourage fans, patrons, and locals alike to bring their own special brews to share with fellow connoisseurs. Festival patrons will be able to access the Beer Exchange as part of their festival experience, while those without a Weekend Pass or Saturday Day Pass will require a $5 donation of which 100% will be donated to Big Ears’ favorite local charities – The Joy of Music School and the Community School of the Arts.
