Beerfest? Heck yes!

The Edmonton Craft Beer Festival is coming to town, and we really can’t think of a better way to spend a weekend.

Celebrate craft creations with good food, good brews, and better company. Even if you’re not a big beer person, there’s something for you at Beerfest!

There’s tons of beer, obviously, but you’re not limited. There will also be cocktails, cider, mead, and RTDs alongside delicious eats. Plus, catch live music from Felix Cartal, Glass Petals, small town DJ’s and enjoy games, cooking demos, and even an after-party.

If that sounds like just the thing for you, then here’s a taste (pun intended) of what to expect at the Alberta Beer Festival.

What to Expect:

Beer, booze, and good times ahead!

Sample from an array of adult bevvies (or non-alcoholic beer) and enjoy food from over 15 restaurants and eateries. There will also be DJs, live music, a sports lounge, brewmaster sessions, and more!

More than anything, it’s the community spirit that makes Beerfest a good time, every time. You don’t need to drink beer to enjoy it, although if that’s your thing, we definitely recommend it.

Hear it from the Brewmaster

Have you been nursing a years-long passion for beer? Maybe you’ve ever fantasized about running your own operation one day…

Whether you’re a connoisseur, hobbyist, or just appreciate a good brew, ‘Let’s Meet for a Beer’ is a fun opportunity to meet with brewery owners, learn about the industry, and hear how they got started.

Sports Lounge
