Handcrafted Fest of Ale

About this event

It’s the return of our marquee autumn market, Handcrafted Fest of Ale, on Sunday, October 11th from 10am to 3pm! We’ve recently expanded our outdoor space, adding lush arborvitae, shady trees, and plenty of greenery to enhance and enrich our open lot across from our building. Our new layout creates the perfect space to endlessly stroll through over 70 local artisans with handmade goods, thrifted & vintage wares, prepackaged food items, antiques, fresh produce, florals/plants, and more! Our all gluten-free CurdWagon is nearing its end for the season and Fest of Ale will be one of your last chances to get in on the goods before it heads into hibernation. You’ll find an additional spot to get our famous fried cheese curds with our Curds á la Carte. Extra outdoor serving stations will be ready to provide a wide variety of our award-winning beers including new releases and seasonal favorites. A variety of local food and beverage trucks will also be there to ensure everyone can grab something tasty. Our Beer Hall will open at 11am offering our full award-winning menu, 18 additional taps, Bloody Marys, and America’s favorite brewery tour on the hour. Live music will be provided in our north lot seating area to round out the afternoon. Enjoy some of the best local talent that graced our Current Sounds stage all summer long. This is a family friendly event; cans of soda, lemonade, our Golden Maple Root Beer, Purple Door Ice Cream, and more yummy treats will be available for the kids. Dogs are welcome but we can’t promise a calm experience for your pup. Anyone under 21 must be accompanied by a parent at all times. Handcrafted Fest of Ale is free to attend and free street parking is available, but fills up quickly. Additional paid parking is available at Schlitz Park.
