The Pickathon beer gardens are a popular retreat for those that are of legal age. Cold beers on a hot summer day with some of the best music around makes it one of the better places to be when a break is needed. Get a brew, sit back, put your feet up, and enjoy both locations with access to either the Mt. View and Fir Meadows Stages or The Galaxy Barn.

In 2010 local craft brewer Widmer Brothers Brewing Co. will be keeping the taps flowing with a multitude of different microbrews ranging from their well-known Widmer Hefeweizen to their delicious Drifter Pale Ale. Founded in 1984 by two ordinary brothers with an uncompromising passion for beer, Widmer Brothers Brewing currently produces a variety of European- and American-style beers.

Widmer Hefeweizen, Drifter Pale Ale, Drop Top Amber Ale, Broken Halo IPA, and Okto (Oktoberfest/Munich Style Ale) will all be found at this years Pickathon.
