QUICK INFO

  • DATE
    Saturday, September 7th

  • TIME
    12:00 NOON to 4:00 PM

  • LOCATION
    The riverside lot at the River View Icehouse in downtown Rockford

  • ENTRANCE/FRONT GATE
    South End of Ice House parking lot where Water Street meets Lower Jefferson (Under the Jefferson Bridge). This is the only entrance/exit.

  • CHECK IN
    Early check in starts at 10:00 AM at the Front Gate. This means you can get your ID checked and ticket scanned to receive your wristband and sample cup. When the gates open at NOON, this will allow you to bypass the entrance line and enter the event upon showing your wristband and cup. As in previous years, the Front Gate will start scanning tickets as early as 10AM.

  • VIRTUAL PROGRAM
    Our LINKTREE will serve as your virtual program. From there you can gain quick access to the full beer list, event map, parking info…basically all the information contained on this page but in a handier way! You can pin it to your phone’s home screen or just scan the QR Code on your General Admission wristband.

  • PARKING MAP
    The Jefferson pedestrian bridge is open making it much more convenient to park on the west side of the river. Enjoy a nice stroll over the pedestrian bridge and arrive at the front gate!

  • BREWERY MAP & BEER LIST ARE IN PROGRESS
    Pin it to your phone’s home screen for quick access. Physical programs won’t be a thing this year. Everyone’s usually buried in their phones anyways, right? A simple map and a list of the available beers goes a long way!

  • FOOD VENDORS AVAILABLE THIS YEAR:

    • CANTINA TACO

    • CHEEZY’S GRILLED CHEESE

    • KA-BAO!

    • SIZZ N FIZZ

  • WEATHER
    SCBF is a rain or shine event. Make sure to keep your eye on the forecast and prepare accordingly.

We are incredibly grateful to bring SCBF back for 2024. Keeping pace with the last few years, we have opted to keep this year’s event the same scaled-down version that we have had last three years. Less crowded with more room to stretch out seemed to be overwhelmingly popular with both the guests and participating breweries. We’ll eventually get back to a larger festival, but right now we’re just taking our time.

Please stay home if you have tested positive for COVID-19, are awaiting COVID-19 test results, have COVID-19 symptoms or feel unwell in general, or if you have had close contact with a person who has tested positive for or who has symptoms of COVID-19.

 WATER!

Our main water station is centrally located

between MARZ (Table 18) and Urban Forest (Table 19).

Urban Forest has provided over 100 gallons of fresh, high quality H20 that we have available on tap for your convenience.

Please be mindful of the water you take. Water is for drinking, not wasting!
You can rinse out your cup and stay hydrated at the same time.

You’ll also find smaller water stations capping the ends of most brewery tent rows.
These easy-touch dispensers require a quick touch of the ginger to turn on and again to turn off.

Please make sure both the water dispensers and water tap faucets are completely shut off before walking away.

 This year’s festival features food from the following delicious local food trucks:

ALL FOOD SOLD SEPERATELY.
VEGETARIAN AND VEGAN OPTIONS AVAILABLE!
