Tickets are now on sale for the 2026 St. Joe Winter Beer Fest.
St. Joe Today’s Daniele Crevier tells us the event is always a hit, showcasing a wide array of Southwest Michigan and beers. It’ll be held on Saturday, January 31 from noon to 4 p.m. at the corner of Broad Street and Lake Boulevard.
“I encourage everyone to bundle up because it’s outside,” Crevier said. “We’re going to host 22 breweries or cideries and a special table hosted by the St. Joe Community Tap, which is going to feature an additional four beers on tap. And we’re just really excited to celebrate Michigan and regional breweries.”
Crevier says local breweries like Haymarket, North Pier, River Saint Joe, Round Barn, Silver Harbor, and The Livery will be featured, along with breweries from around the state. There are two kinds of tickets to the event.
“We’ve got general admission, which is $45 a person, and that includes a tasting cup, 12 tokens, so it’s one token per sample, four-ounce sample, and entertainment courtesy of Sunset Coast DJs. We’ve got some DJ music happening throughout the day, and then, of course, just winter camaraderie with all your friends.”
Then there are the VIP tickets, which get you a tasting cup, 15 tokens, 30-minute early access to the event, and a 2026 Winter Beer Fest long sleeve t-shirt. Tickets always sell out, and Crevier says about half of them are already gone, so now’s the time to get one.
