You asked, we listened! Abilene Beer Summit is officially back home at Frontier Texas this September 26th, and we're going bigger than ever!

🍺 A bigger venue with more room to roam and sip
🍺 More breweries pouring all the beer that your heart desires
🍺 Wide open space for live music to party hardy with your friends

And VIP? We took it up a notch! VIP will be indoors this year, catered by Steak Express, so you get the best of both worlds: the energy of the outdoor Summit, with a cool escape from the Texas heat whenever you need it!

Frontier Texas. September 26th. This is the Summit you've been waiting for!

📍 Find Man in the Moon at the T&P Depot (1101 N. 1st St.), and don't forget to snap a photo and tag us!
