There are craft beer festivals. And then there are craft beer festivals where dudes fly through the air in spandex and land on other dudes.

We mean the popular Sprung Beer Festival, the largest craft beer tasting of its kind, which will draw thousands to Wynwood this weekend with cold brews, food, music and wrestling action.

More than 100 breweries - including local favorites J Wakefield, 3 Sons Brewing, Angry Chair, Civil Society, MIA and Tripping Animals - will be pouring beer for you to try at Sprung. Expect to see plenty of stars from the national beer firmament as well, like Cigar City, Founders, Stone Brewing, Toppling Goliath and Captain Lawrence.

There will also be food trucks, DJs, artisan vendors and back-to-back wrestling matches on a wrestling stage.

More than 5,000 beer lovers attended Sprung last year; festival organizers believe there will be more this year.
