Barrel Fest 2025 is our third annual celebration of beer and cider made in wood. We invite 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.
Four course Valentine’s dinner with special beer pairings at Culina McCauley! Join us for a fun, romantic evening filled with delicious food, beer pairings and lovely company!
Chefs Christine Sandford and Roger Letourneau take over the taproom to serve up a cozy fondue dinner.
Chef Peter Zukiwski of Pitt County BBQ is taking over the taproom! Experience Southern comfort with a menu inspired by traditional southern dishes, served alongside delightful barrel-fermented beers.
