Lawrence Convention Center, 1000 Fort Duquesne Blvd. downtown. Organizers promise open sampling of more than 150 local and craft beers, plus seltzers, cocktails and offerings from newer craft wineries and distilleries. The full beer list and floor map are posted the week of the fest. There is an afternoon session and an evening session. Early admission starts at noon or 6:30 p.m. and includes four and a half hours of tasting, while regular admission starts at 1 p.m. or 7:30 p.m. for three and a half hours. Designated driver tickets are sold online in advance only. Everyone inside must be 21 or older, including designated drivers, and every guest needs a valid, unexpired ID. Bags are allowed but may be checked. The Convention Center has a 700-car garage with its entrance on 10th Street, and ParkPGH shows real-time downtown parking. When February in Pittsburgh turns gray, a warm convention hall with 150-plus beers is a good place to be. Choose your session and plan your ride downtown.
