Beer can only be purchased with tokens. Most beer samples are one token and full glasses are four tokens. All other vendors, be they food, drink or whatever will take festival tokens instead of or in addition to U.S. money. Left over tokens will NOT be bought back. They are good from year to year.

Do I have to buy a glass?
No. If you are not drinking you do not have to buy a glass. Beer is only available in a festival glass or mug. Cider, mead, and wineries may sell samples in tiny plastic cups or have their own glasses for sale or will serve their product in any of the festival glasses. Cocktails and distilled spirits come in their own glasses. Sharing samples is permitted.
