Kick off the holiday season extra early at the San Diego Model Railroad Museum with one of our most anticipated annual events, Ales N’ Rails, happening Friday, November 21, from 6:00 PM–9:30 PM!

Get ready for an unforgettable evening featuring new trains, new beers, new games, delicious food, and plenty of holiday cheer. Whether you’re a craft beer enthusiast, model railroad fan, or just looking for a fun night out, Ales N’ Rails is the perfect way to celebrate the start of the holiday season with friends and family.

This year’s event has an exciting goal: raising $10,000 to support the museum you love! Every ticket, sponsorship, raffle prize, and volunteer helps keep the San Diego Model Railroad Museum on track for future generations.

This year’s event will feature craft beer from Barley & Sword Brewing Company, Brewjeria Company, Pizza Port Brewing Co., Athletic Brewing Co., Chula Vista Brewery, and more!
We’ll also have exciting raffle prizes and experiences from local organizations including Old Town Trolley Tours, Fleet Science Center, San Diego Air & Space Museum, The Old Globe, City Experiences San Diego, and more.

Want to be part of the fun? We’re looking for volunteers, event sponsors, raffle prize donors, and community partners to help make this year’s Ales N’ Rails our biggest celebration yet. To get involved, email info@sdmrm.org.
