BREW FEST 2025
Saturday, June 14th | 12 PM – 5 PM
Sip, Savor, and Celebrate at Brew Fest 2025!
Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of laid-back vibes, great music from Norton Chartier & Company, delicious food, and the finest craft beverages from Michigan and Wisconsin. Proudly presented by our Signature Sponsor, Bacco Construction, this year’s festival is a must-attend for craft beverage lovers.
From crisp beers and smooth wines to refreshing ciders, meads, handcrafted cocktails, and premium spirits—there’s something for everyone. But Brew Fest is more than just a tasting event; it’s a celebration of community, where friends—old and new—come together to share great drinks and even better conversations.
Raise your glass, make memories, and toast to the best of craft beverages at Brew Fest 2025!
Brew Fest is a 21+ event.
Brew Fest tickets are $40, which includes a complimentary Brew Fest glass for samples and 14 tasting tokens. You can buy tickets online in advance by clicking on the big orange button above – recommended since attendance is limited to 500 tickets. You can also get your tickets at the entrance on the day of the event, but there’s a possibility they could sell out.
Your 14 Tasting tokens go a long way towards getting plenty of samples to taste! All 4 oz. beer pours are 1 token. Wine, cider, meads, and some mixed drinks featuring liquors are 2 tokens. Larger pours or cocktails are 3-5 tokens. Signage at each vendor at the event will provide more details.
