Tickets On Sale Now!

Tickets are on sale for the Texas Craft Brewers Festival, the state’s largest beer event focused exclusively on Texas-brewed craft beer, returning to East Austin’s Fiesta Gardens on November 16, 2024. This year’s event will feature more than 80 Texas craft breweries serving samples of approximately 200 independent craft beers, as well as live music and onsite food options. The event is organized each year by the Texas Craft Brewers Guild, the non-profit trade association committed to advancing the Texas craft brewing industry through advocacy and education. The big change this year is the date – the event will be held about a month and a half later than last year, presumably due to the heat.  Should be a lot more comfortable this year!
