VIRGINIA BEACH — The 4th Annual Treasure Chest Beer and Food Fest 2017 is coming, and this year, all ticket sales will benefit Susan G. Komen Tidewater.

Want to sip on rare, specialty, one-off and barrel-aged beers from Green Flash, Cellar 3 and Alpine Beer Company? This year’s Treasure Chest fest will serve up nearly two dozen rare brews, including the beer the festival was named after – Green Flash’s Treasure Chest passion fruit IPA.

Several local restaurants and food trucks will also be on site, including Karnaga Asada, Tubby’s Tavern, The Lynnhaven Pub and more. The popular 80s cover band The Deloreans will play on the event’s main stage.

Like competition? You can try to beat the brewer at games like cornhole and bocce ball.

Local merchandise will be available at an on-site marketplace, where shops like Prince Ink, KEEP Collective, It Started With a Fig (Jam), Flutterby Soap Company and more.

If you’re headed to the Oct. 15 event, wear your best luau themed attire – colorful Hawaiian shirts, grass skirts and retro-inspired, tiki-kitsch attire is encouraged by Green Flash. 

Ticket prices range from $25–$55 and can be purchased online.
