The beer festival, which runs from 5 to 8 p.m. (and an extra hour earlier for VIP ticket holders) will feature a crazy number of breweries like Brewery Ommegang, Coppertail, Avery, and Ace Cider, along with a PGA-specific package that includes an evening's stay at the resort.
It's a unique opportunity that allows you to sample 120 different beers and ciders and then make your way to bed without setting foot in a car, a taxi, or an Uber. For $149, you get two general-admission tickets and luxury accommodations at the resort. Those reservations can be made at 855-896-4762.
