Barrel Fest is a one day festival of barrel-fermented and barrel-aged beer (and a lil' cider) showcasing breweries from across Canada!

Barrel Fest 2024 picks up where last year's festival left off, celebrating beer and cider made in wood. Blind Enthusiasm Brewing Company invited a number of friends from across Canada to share their barrel-aged and barrel-fermented beers right here in Edmonton. The breweries and cideries that are making the pilgrimage to Happy Beer Street all devote significant production effort to barrel-aging and barrel-fermenting, and every beer in the festival will have to spend some time in wood!

Join us for a barrel o' fun at Ritchie Park, next to the Ritchie Community League. Enjoy unique beers from across Canada, poured by the brewers that made them. Tickets include a commemorative Barrel Fest glass. 100ml pours will be available for $4, with service running from 1:00–6:00pm.

The Lineup

Barrel Fest 2024 features the return of some of your favourites from last year, as well as new breweries!

Three of last years headliners will be back for this year's festival. 2 Crows Brewing Co hails from the opposite side of our vast country in Nova Scotia! Nokomis is rolling in on a barrel from Saskatchewan, while Low Life plies their trade in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Others are returning from our fine province, a hub of Canadian brewing excellence.
