Despite the focus on beer, the festival aims to unite the community.
“Whether you enjoy beer or not, it’s really just a festival to bring the community together,” Wagner emphasized.

Scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 18, 2025, the festival will feature hundreds of premium, craft and near beers from breweries worldwide.
Attendees can also enjoy music, games, wines, ciders, food trucks, food booths and local vendors. Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the fall day in San Antonio.
Several musicians, including CJFNCTN, Jessica Healey, Kerosene Drifters, and Odie and The Arcade, are set to perform throughout the day.
Additionally, the festival will host four Lucha Libre wrestling matches, adding to the day’s entertainment.
