Massachusetts Craft Brewers Festival

Coming out of hibernation has never been this fun!

Join us this spring in Boston on Saturday, April 29 from 1 to 4:30 p.m. and 6 to 9:30 p.m. and sample beer from more than 40 Massachusetts craft breweries all under one roof.

*NEW* in 2023, breweries that also make seltzer and cider will add those offerings to their lineup.

Ticket proceeds from the Massachusetts Craft Brewers Festival support the Mass Brewers Guild, the state’s nonprofit organization that works to protect and promote the interests of craft brewers across the Commonwealth. Mass Brewers Guild beer festivals are the only beer events run by brewers, for brewers.
