Leave the kids at home! This event is for adults 21+!
Join us for everyone’s favorite beer-themed event, where the worlds of beer and science collide! Explore the museum’s exhibits after dark while your favorite local breweries serve up samples and the science behind them all evening long. Enjoy live music from The Hourglass Kids, hop over to play lawn games, and relax in our outdoor biergarten. Then, compete in the Beerlympics or try our "Hot Ones" challenge with Bull City Pepper Co. Take a sunset train ride on the Ellerbe Creek Railway and explore the Magic Wings Butterfly house with your favorite creepy crawlers! We’ll delve into all things from fermentation to beer foam, create with Crafts & Drafts, enjoy activities and demonstrations and more!
Not a big beer drinker but love science? Don’t fret! Along with our variety of beers, we’ll also have wine and a specialty “mocktail” available for purchase at our cash bars. Tickets also include a commemorative “Science of Beer” cup.
“Bulkogi” & “Trash Talk” Food trucks will also be on site for purchase. To top it off, all money raised from this event will benefit our conservation and education initiatives that help inspire lifelong learning. Food trucks, Experiments, and Beer – What could be better?

Need more? Join us for an exclusive VIP Experience: Just Chill with Beer Tooth Taproom! We will be sampling a Hazy IPA, a Baltic Porter, and an American Adjunct Lager at a few temperatures to highlight the intersection between what we taste, what we smell, and how that impacts your beer drinking experience. You'll walk away with the skills to further your ale-ducation — it’s a little bit anatomy, a little bit physiology, and a whole better way to drink your favorite beer!
Additional ticket purchase required; guests must first purchase a Science of Beer ticket to receive the link via email. This experience starts before Science of Beer from 6:00pm - 7:00pm in our Main Museum. Seats are extremely limited so don’t wait!
