The event will also feature spirits from Karate Cowboy, Middle West Spirits, Mill Street Distillery and Watershed Distillery, and wine from Camelot Cellars and Signature Wines.
In addition to drinks, Digfest will feature a few craft and apparel vendors; food from Cap City Fine Diner, Dewey’s Pizza, DK Diner, Hofbrauhaus Columbus, Hudson 29, Marshall’s, Matt the Miller’s, Queen’s Table, Red Hook Grill, Schmidt’s, Skyward Grille, Yats and Yumii Kettle Corn; and live music from DJ Carlo, The High Definitions and Angela Perley & the Howlin’ Moons, the latter of whom collaborated with Homestead on a beer that will be featured at the event (learn more).
The event itself is free to attend, with tickets for drink samples available for $3 a piece; beer, wine and spirit samples require one drink ticket, and full pours cost two. VIP tickets are available online though Friday, which include a souvenir glass, larger pours and line skipping.
