Virginia Beach, VA — Beach Ambassadors, Veer Magazine, and Virginia Craft Beer Magazine are excited to announce the return of 757 Battle of the Beers Festival featuring more than 30 Hampton Roads breweries and benefiting multiple non-profit organizations. The in-person event will take place Saturday, September 18 from 1pm to 6pm at Camp Pendleton in Virginia Beach.

Beach Ambassadors’ President Shawn Fischer says, “After the pandemic, people are eager to get out and safely enjoy outdoor festivals. With more and more people getting vaccinated and the state opening up little by little, we thought the timing was right to move forward with an in-person event this Fall.”

In partnership with Veer Magazine and Virginia Craft Beer Magazine, Beach Ambassadors will present a memorable experience for craft beer enthusiasts at this award-winning and only 757-exclusive beer festival. Attendees will enjoy samples from more than 30 Hampton Roads breweries, live music, food trucks, games, and more. Plus, they’ll watch as breweries compete on behalf their chosen charities. Awards will be given in three categories: “Brewer’s Choice,” “People’s Choice,” and “Battle of the Brewers.” Event proceeds will benefit the winning breweries’ charities and St. Mary’s Home, and Hope House Foundation.
