Islay’s 8th Annual Barrel-Aged Brewfest

Brewing for a cause. Fun for all.

General Admission 12:00-5:00pm ET | VIP Admission 11:00am ET

This year marks our 8th Annual Barrel-Aged Brewfest! Held in support of Islay’s Barrel, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to providing summer enrichment opportunities for Southwest Michigan youth, this event brings together craft beer lovers, families, and local community members for a full day of celebration.

Expect tastings of unique, barrel-aged brews from some of the region’s best breweries, plus live music, delicious food options, and games and activities for guests of all ages. From craft beer to cornhole, there’s something for everyone.

All proceeds benefit Islay’s Barrel. Every ticket helps send kids to camp this fall.

Come for the beer. Stay for the cause. Make memories with your whole crew while supporting local kids.
