Breweries to Try at MGK Brew Blast 2025

102.9 WMGK will celebrate one of the station’s most fun events of the year on Saturday, Sept. 6, on the Battleship New Jersey on the Camden Waterfront.

MGK Brew Blast 2025 will feature more than 50 craft beers from local, national, and international breweries. The craft beer enthusiasts with a heavier palate and the urge to try some new IPAs, and the lighter beer drinkers looking for a refreshing taste, will find their favorites with the wide assortment available.

The early September sun and the scenery of the Delaware River and the Ben Franklin Bridge provide the perfect backdrop. MGK’s house band, Bambu Weasels, will also play some of your favorite Rock & Roll hits throughout the event from 1 pm-5 pm.

Preview some of the best breweries and beers that’ll be available at MGK Brew Blast 2025.
