The Kentucky Guild of Brewers is proud to be back in full force for this year’s festival, and we cannot wait to see you and lift a glass. Something that makes this festival so special is that it is hosted by the brewers and brewery owners of the Commonwealth. It gives festival attendees a chance to put names to faces and see just how much love goes into the brewing process. Festivalgoers will receive a complimentary tasting glass, and food will be available for purchase. Those lucky enough to score VIP entry, will have access to the fun an hour early!

“I always look forward to Craft Bash,” said Charley Hamilton, owner of Dreaming Creek Brewery and President of the Kentucky Guild of Brewers said in a news release. “It gives Dreaming Creek Brewery (Richmond) a chance to share our beers with lots of folks who may not otherwise try them. It also gives us a place to network with all the other breweries in Kentucky and share our industry stories. It’s truly a unique industry that we’re in and the camaraderie amongst brewers is awesome. I can’t wait to see everyone this year.”

Breweries from every region of Kentucky are working together to make this the state’s largest beer festival with only beers produced within the Commonwealth. Not only will you get to have craft beers from local favorites like Monnik located in Germantown, but other breweries where you can meet the founders of Ethereal from Lexington, Jarfly from Somerset, and so many more. There will be hundreds of beers to sample, distribution favorites, taproom only releases, and one-off specialty beers.

Whether you are a beer fan or not, this is a festival that offers something for everyone, and is a great opportunity to try something new. There will also be cider, sake, and non-alcoholic options available, with plenty of water, food, and activities. We hope you’ll come to sip on something new with us.
