- Jalisco craft brewery booths: the core of the event. Small local brewers pour pale ales, stouts and fruit-leaning ales that rarely reach shops outside the region, so you taste what Guadalajara actually drinks.
- Cerveza preparada and michelada stands: Mexico’s habit of dressing beer with lime, salt, chile and savory sauces is on full display. Try one made by someone who does it daily and you will not go back to plain.
- Tapatío street food: look for torta ahogada, the pork sandwich drowned in chile sauce that Guadalajara claims as its own, plus tacos and grilled snacks that soak up the tastings.
- Live music stage: bands play through the afternoon and evening, and the crowd sings along with the Mexican rock and cumbia classics. It is the easiest place to start a conversation with locals.

- Brewer conversations and tasting flights: staff at the smaller booths are often the brewers themselves and love explaining styles. Order a small pour, ask what they would drink, and let it steer your route through the rest of the festival.
