Massachusetts Craft Brewers Festival

Raise a Glass to Independence: Celebrate Craft Beer’s Past, Present, and Future

Massachusetts Craft Brewers Festival Returns April 26, 2025

The year was 1933, and America was ready to raise a glass. After 13 long, dry years of Prohibition, the taps opened once more, unleashing a wave of creativity and craftsmanship that redefined brewing. This wasn’t just about beer—it was about freedom, innovation, and reclaiming a beloved tradition.

Small, family-run breweries sprang up like wildflowers across the country and the Commonwealth. These independent brewers weren’t churning out generic lagers; they were artists, blending old-world techniques with new-world ingenuity to craft beers overflowing with flavor and character.

Fast forward to today, and that same spirit of independence thrives—230+ breweries strong in Massachusetts. Join us on Saturday, April 26, at Boston’s Center for the Arts, Cyclorama, for the Massachusetts Craft Brewers Festival, where we’ll raise a glass to the past and toast to a future of vibrant, free-flowing craft beer!

Two Sessions:

Session 1: 1 – 4 p.m.

Session 2: 5 – 8 p.m.

What’s on Tap?

Discover more than 40 Massachusetts craft breweries, pouring their finest beers along with a limited number of kombucha, seltzers and ciders (this is first and foremost a beer festival). This isn’t just a tasting—it’s a tribute to the artistry, independence, and innovation of local brewing.

More Than a Festival:

Every sip supports the Mass Brewers Guild, a grassroots organization championing the rights, freedoms, and passions of our craft brewers. This is an event for brewers, by brewers, and the ultimate gathering for craft beer enthusiasts.

Ticket Details:

General Admission: $55 (includes unlimited beer samples).

Designated Drivers/Non-Drinkers: $10.
