Lancaster BrewFest showcases Ohio’s craft breweries at downtown street event

LANCASTER – Lancaster BrewFest is returning with a lineup of over 30 breweries, cideries, distilleries, and wineries across Ohio.

BrewFest will be from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. Saturday, with VIP access starting at 3 p.m. and features a curated selection of craft beer, cider, spirits, and wines as well as food trucks, trivia, live music and Hocking Hills Sykyl Pub offering free pedal wagon rides to patrons.

Multiple ticket options are available for attendees, including Designated Driver (DD) admission for $20, and a Late-Night Pass option sold at the gate for those joining from 7 p.m. onwards.

The 2024 beer list offers fan favorites from local breweries, featuring Combustion Brewery & Taproom, BrewDog, Jackie O’s, and Lancaster’s very own Double Edge. Several breweries, distilleries, cideries, and wineries have joined the lineup from across Ohio, including Columbus, Athens, Marion, and Newark, among others.

“It’s great seeing our community and others from outside the community come to Downtown Lancaster to celebrate beers made in Ohio," said event director Aaron Uhl. "Going into my 11th year of the event, I couldn’t have dreamed how big it has grown and has made its own footprint in Fairfield County. I love organizing this event every year and it could not happen without the support from many of the gracious sponsors, volunteers and many of the patrons who attend the event.”

Enjoy live music by The Ark Band, offering distinct styles of Roots Reggae, Calypso, and Soca music, as well as Any Colour, a celebration of Pink Floyd. Ticketholders also have an array of food vendors that complement the lively event, including OX-B’s, Tiberio’s, Bob’s Backyard Barbeque, Woodfired Hot Dog Cart, El Catrin, Nothing Bundt Cakes and Smash City 614.
