Since 2006
The whole state, one day.
The state’s biggest day for independent beer.
The Texas Craft Brewers Festival has gathered the state’s small and independent brewers since 2006. What started as a modest meetup has grown into the largest celebration of Texas craft beer, around 80 breweries pouring 200+ beers, all packed into one big Saturday at Fiesta Gardens.
The festival is built on a simple idea: the best way to understand Texas beer is to taste the whole state in one afternoon, glass in hand, talking to the people who brewed it. From high-desert lagers to Gulf-Coast oyster stouts, it is all here.

The Texas Craft Brewers Guild.
The festival is presented by the Texas Craft Brewers Guild, the nonprofit trade association that represents and advances small and independent breweries across Texas. The festival is its signature event and a key fundraiser for that work.
Advocacy
The Guild represents small and independent Texas breweries at the Capitol, working for fair laws that let local beer compete and grow.
Community
It connects brewers across a vast state, sharing knowledge, raw materials, and the occasional tank of yeast in a pinch.
Education
Through Beer School and year-round programs, the Guild helps drinkers understand and seek out genuinely independent beer.
