Tennessee Winter Beer Fest 2026

On Saturday, February 21st, 2026 the Tennessee Winter Beer Fest (TWBF) will celebrate its 14th year. The TWBF will be held from 3pm to 8pm at Company Distilling in Townsend.

The TWBF began as an idea from Maryville resident Mike Adams, he simply wanted to put on a beer festival. Through conversations with several friends, a board was formed and a charity identified to benefit from the event, New Hope Blount County Children’s Advocacy Center. The TWBF has grown since its beginning, officially becoming a 501(c)3 in 2014. While the size of the event has stayed consistent at roughly 350 tickets, the donation amount to New Hope has grown reaching a record $28,000 in 2024!

The TNWBF board hopes to maintain or break its 2024 record and has reached out to Tennessee breweries and local businesses to achieve this objective. Breweries that will be in attendance for the 2026 event are your local favorites and more! Stay tuned here for a full list!

Several local businesses are sponsoring the TWBF including Old Gods of Appalachia, Insurefit, The Trentham Santiago Group, Meadowlake Airpark, Green Meadow Liquor Wine and Beer experts, The Brewing and Distilling Center, The Townsend Abbey, Premier Event Rentals, The Talley Ho Inn, Little Arrow Outdoor Resort, and The Causal Pint Northshore.
