Novemberfest at Rustico: You Won't Believe the Beer Selection

The Neighborhood Restaurant Group is hosting a smaller version of its Snallygaster beer festival Saturday, Nov. 2 outside Rustico on Slaters Lane in Alexandria.

Novemberfest, which will run from noon to 5 p.m., will feature more than 50 stouts, porters, hopped IPAs, pumpkin ales and much more selected by NRG beer maestro Greg Engert.

Admission is $5 at the door and it includes a Novemberfest can koozie while supplies last.

Like all NRG festivals, tickets will be needed to purchase beer and food. Tickets will be available for $1 apiece. Beers will range from six to eight tickets for full 14-oz. pours and three to four tickets for most 6-oz. tasters.

Food will range from three to eight tickets.
