3rd Annual Yukon Beer Festival
October 14th – 15th, 2016
KwanlinD?n Cultural Centre – Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada
The Yukon Beer Festival Society was started in 2013 by (you guessed it) a bunch of northern-living beer lovers. Sure, we loved going outside of the territory to beer festivals, but we felt like there was a good time to be had in throwing our own hoppy shindig. So, we decided to do just that!
The first annual event, in 2013, was a hit with Yukoners and visitors alike. Each year the festival has grown to include more tastes, more representatives from breweries and distributors across North America, and more patrons enjoying BEER! The society chooses a local charity for each festival and we donate profits from the event to benefit their cause.

Austin Beer Week
October 28th – November 8th, 2016
Multiple Events and Venues – Austin, Texas, USA
Austin Beer Week is a multi-day, multi-event, brewer-centric showcase of all things craft beer, now in its 7th year.
Austin Beer Week’s nature as both marathon and sprint results in brewers racing from event to event all nine days, all over greater Austin, and all so they can personally connect with you. How cool is that? Yes, they’re hustling to grow, but anyone who’s been around craft beer knows that’s only a portion of their motivation. Appreciation and invest in the community is the other, and we are blessed for that.
So Austin Beer Week is not only our way of celebrating craft beer, but of giving back, through the exposure and direct economic impact the week generates for the craft beer community (brewers and venues, in particular), and by benefitting the Texas Craft Brewers Guild.
