Kentucky’s Largest Brewfest Returns this Summer

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (April 12, 2021) – The Kentucky Guild of Brewers (KGB) will once again offer Kentucky Craft Bash, a summer festival for brewers and beer lovers alike, to enjoy Kentucky craft beer. The event will be held on Saturday, June 26 at Louisville Waterfront Park’s Festival Plaza.

Kentucky Craft Bash will be the state’s largest beer festival featuring beers produced within the Commonwealth, hosting over 60 Kentucky breweries and highlighting more than 150 varieties of beer along with exclusive, experimental hard to find beers, as well as brews that rarely make it out of the brewery’s taproom.

“I am so excited to show off the best of Kentucky beer and talk to the actual people that brew the beer and learn about the love and care that goes into the production of these beers,” said Derek Selznick, Executive Director of the Kentucky Guild of Brewers. “We want folks to sip and savor these delicious beers and ciders, while supporting the craft brewers of Kentucky. And don’t worry if beer isn’t your thing, we will also have several ciders, mead, sake, wine and bourbon to try.”

VIP Tickets ($60) and general admission tickets ($50) are on sale now and can be purchased at www.kycraftbash.com. All funds from the festival proceeds go to support the Craft Beer Industry in Kentucky along with their charity partner Cure CF.
