Waterfowl Festival Inc. and Burnish Brewing Co. announce the limited edition release of “In Flight” a fall brew produced in collaboration with Bird Nickel Brewing of Easton, MD. This spiced winter lager will complement delicious fall food pairings and evoke warm memories of a crackling fire, good friends, and brisk outdoor fun – the perfect companion to help celebrate Waterfowl weekend!
The beer’s concept was developed with Doug Greene of Bird Nickel Brewing, who grew up in Easton and has a deep passion for the mission and vision of the Waterfowl Festival. Greene approached the festival in spring 2024 and the collaboration with Burnish soon followed. The beer’s eye-catching label is designed by Maggii Sarfaty, an Easton-based artist who also painted the background for this year’s festival map.
During the festival, the beer will be available at Premier Night on Nov. 7 in all of the art pavilions, free to all VIP ticket holders while supplies last. Through the weekend, VIP ticket holders can request the beer in the VIP hospitality suite. “In Flight” can be purchased at the new Duck Blind Bar located within the Avalon Theatre. This venue will also feature seasonal craft beers from RAR, Big Truck, and Burley Oak. Festival participants will also be able to sample the beer in the tasting pavilion located on Dover Street with the purchase of a tasting pavilion ticket.

Ample accessible parking, ticket booths, and bus stops will be located at Easton High School, Easton Elementary School, and Easton Middle School.
