Festival Reviews

I LOVE GABF!! I can’t say enough about GABF. I have been the last 4 years and I have the best time tasting different beers, seeing the special booths and most recent beer adventures. This is a festival that is enormous in size, so some planning is needed.

– Dan C.

Best craft beer festival evvvvver!!! Over 700 different craft beer booths and each brewery brings at minimum like 4 different beers for you to taste! The breweries are split into regions. So plan accordingly. Very well organized.

– Lisa W.

I stopped here because of the rumor of being able to get great beers such as Pliny and Lost Abbey here. They aren’t on their menus, so you have to ask. However, lots of great food, great beer, and the staff was super friendly! Recommend it for any beer nerd!
