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.
