MARIETTA - A scaled-down version of the annual Root House Beer Festival will take place at the William Root House on November 14th. To ensure a safe and enjoyable afternoon for guests, this outdoor event will be broken into three shifts with a limited number of tickets available per shift.
Come try a collection of beers crafted by Red Hare Brewing & Distilling using hops, fruit, and herbs grown in the historic Root House gardens. Built in the 1840s, the Root House was originally owned by Marietta’s first druggist, William Root. William would have grown many medicinal plants in his garden, including hops, which would have been used to relieve sleeplessness and anxiety. Today, the William Root House is operated as a historic house museum.
A limited number of tickets are available. Please select which shift you will attend when purchasing your ticket(s). Drink tickets will be color-coded for each shift so staff can ensure a safe number of guests are on the property at all times. Disposable cups will be used so bartenders never have to handle used cups. Attendees must be 21 or older to sample beers. IDs will be checked at the door. Participants must wear a mask while inside the Root House facilities. No refunds.
