VIP, Early Admission, and General Admission festival tickets are on sale now. We’re kicking off the Aug. 10 festivities with a VIP “Meet the Brewers” podcast event hosted by the Drinking Partners at noon atAlloy 26  just inside the Nova Place Courtyard.  VIP ticketholders will be treated to an up-close conversation with two of Pittsburgh’s best comedians interviewing  craft beer legend Garrett Oliver. 

The fun continues at 5 pm (3 pm for early admission ticketholders) with a showcase of unique craft beers, ciders, and spirits made by some of the nation’s most talented brewers. Festivalgoers will also enjoy Pittsburgh's best food trucks on site and live music throughout the evening. Brewers, beer-related vendors, musicians and food truck owners are invited to apply to participate. Fresh Fest welcomes Black brewers as well as other brewers working in collaboration with Black brewers, businesses and artists.
