With the Red Sox heading to the Dominican Republic for a two-game series with the Tampa Bay Rays this weekend, Southwest Floridians can enjoy a brew, as JetBlue Park brings a brand-new event to its grounds.

The first annual Fenway South Beer Fest takes place this Saturday from 1-5 p.m., featuring more than 50 different craft beers. The event will take place on Fenway South Drive with live music, cornhole, concessions and free ballpark tours. The Red Sox ticket office and team store will also be open during the event.

“As we continue to look for new and innovative ways to offer community-friendly events at JetBlue Park, a beer fest seemed a great way to utilize Fenway South Drive,” said Brennen Whitley, director, Florida Events and Operations Boston Red Sox. “We are fortunate to have so many successful craft breweries in Southwest Florida and we look forward to highlighting their efforts and show our support for them during Spring Training.”

Just a few of the participating breweries include Fort Myers Brewing, Palm City Brewing, Cigar City Brewing, Keel Farms, The Beast, Tank Brewing and Dog Fish Head.

Whitley said though a partnership with Aramark and JJ Taylor, they were able to secure breweries from across Florida. There will be 10 breweries onsite, but over 50 craft beers to sample.

“This is a way for Southwest Florida residents to come out and experience JetBlue Park for something other than a baseball game,” Whitley said. “Take a tour of the ballpark, see the 2007 and 2013 World Series trophies, and enjoy craft beers from all over the state.”

Tickets are $35, which includes seven 4-ounce samplings. Entry is free to attendees under 21 and those not sampling beer. All beers will be available to purchase in full serving sizes. Event parking is $10 (cash only).

Fenway South Beer Fest is presented by Beasley Media Group, who will also provide live entertainment, including bands and B103.9’s DJ Babs, throughout the afternoon and early evening.

As an added incentive, those that purchase a ticket in advance will receive a complimentary ticket to the March 16 Spring Training game.
