Hickory Hops

Downtown Hickory

Hickory Hops is an annual Craft Beer & Music festival in Downtown Hickory. Over 50 craft breweries participate in this sampling event.

All Tasting Tickets include a tasting glass that will be provided on the day of the event. The regulations of the new social district in Downtown Hickory prohibits the use of glass serving containers, so the tasting glasses will be hard plastic again this year.

This festival offers plenty for everyone, from inexperienced beer novices to hardened beer fest veterans anxious for something unusual.
