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.
Pitt County BBQ is taking over The Monolith taproom to serve up smoked beef sandwiches!
Join us in Calgary for a tasting of a limited release beer made in partnership with Kensington Wine Market. This dark lager was aged in a single barrel of bourbon for 8 months.
Chef Tony will prepare a delicious four couse meal to be paired with the Blind Enthusiasm beers, to make for a truly unique event.
