Created from the mind and liver of NOFX's frontman Fat Mike—and named for NOFX's classic Punk In Drublic album—the Punk In Drublic Craft Beer & Music Festival features the best in punk rock music and regional craft beer. In 2017, the touring festival hosted nearly 50,000 punk rock and craft beer fans in total over its six dates in the Western U.S.

Fat Mike said, "I don't get excited about a lot of things…but when I get a chance to do a Central Southern Mid Eastern West Northern Tour…I just get confused. Sometimes confusion can be exciting though."

Fat Mike has again joined forces with premier music event producer/promoter Synergy Global Entertainment and respected craft beer event production powerhouse Brew Ha Ha Productions for the festival. In addition, Fat Mike teamed up with craft beer pioneers Stone Brewing to brew their very own limited release Stone & NOFX Punk in Drublic Hoppy Lager, which sold out quickly in 2017 and will be available again in California, concert states, and select surrounding areas starting in late March.

Festival co-producer Cameron Collins of Brew Ha Ha Productions explains, "What makes Punk In Drublic so special is the authenticity of it. Craft beer, true craft beer, from local and regional breweries who are running their businesses with the same mentality as punk rock music: independent, often times controversial, and without a care in the world about how it's 'been done in the past.' I say it all the time, punk rock is the music much of the craft beer we drink is brewed to…it's appropriate to have an epic event that celebrates the two!"

"After the riotous success of last year's ruckus, we were all-in for the 2018 Punk In Drublic Craft Beer & Music Festival," said Greg Koch, Stone Brewing executive chairman & co-founder. "Before we started with this nonsense more than a year ago, Fat Mike initially claimed not to care what we showed up with, so long as the beer we showed up with was wet. That's not our style, as we're as hard core about beer as he is about punk music. Committed to get on the ride and see what it was all about, he arrived at our brewery in pink boots and seriously got in on the action. In the end, we brewed a hoppy lager that's core, punk and perfect for post-slamdance. All in all we were all pretty damn happy with what we created. No doubt, the guy has some of the most serious cred that exists when it comes to independent punk rock, and now he's got that crossing over to independent craft beer."
