The annual Brewers of Indiana Guild Winterfest was held in the Ag/Hort building at the Indiana State Fairgrounds on January 29, 2011. The guild has raised over $200,000 for local charities from festivals like this one. The event was sold out, easily hitting the 3000 ticket mark with advance sales. Event organizers said another 3000 tickets could have been easily sold, but the event is limited in size to make the wait in lines at brewers booths shorter.
