Exclusive Dogfish Head Beer Coming To MondoCon

Austin, TX—September 8, 2014— Amazing food and drink options are just some of the ways MondoCon is seeking to offer a unique convention experience. Four local food trucks – Frank, JuiceLand, Micklethwait and The Peached Tortilla – will be on hand in the parking lot to offer delicious Austin cuisine to attendees throughout the weekend and a full service bar will be available inside with themed cocktails and a special Dogfish Head brew. The two-day convention takes place on September 20 & 21 during the first weekend of Fantastic Fest at The Marchesa Hall & Theater in Austin, TX.

"When trying to craft our ideal convention, one of the things at the top of the list was to improve upon the food options. Austin is a food town as much as it is a film and music town and we’re eager to bring that experience to MondoCon. We’ve handpicked some of the city’s greatest food trucks to ensure that the dining experience will be as memorable as the panels and screenings themselves. We’re also excited to offer a full service bar in an effort to create a fun, relaxed atmosphere where you’ll want to hang out and have a beer or cocktail," said Mondo CEO Justin Ishmael.

EDIBLE EXCLUSIVES
Creativity is the theme of the convention and the food and beverage partners have risen to the challenge to offer some incredible new flavors to their menus. Additionally, the bar will offer several themed cocktails from Alamo Drafthouse’s Beverage Director Bill Norris.

Dogfish Head
Dogfish Head, the official beer vendor, is brewing a special "Mondo Beer" exclusively for the convention. "Mondo Beer" is an English Old Ale that has been aged in Dogfish Head’s one-of-a-kind giant oak tanks at their brewery in Milton, DE. The oak-aging process shares a connection with Texas for its oak tree and the artists of MondoCon who use pulp and paper as the medium for their great works of art.
