The ’80s and ’90s tribute bands are going to be absolutely epic, but let’s be honest—we all know the real co-star of the Reel Ale Festival is what’s pouring from the taps!
This year, we’ve gone all out to curate an incredible, thirst-quenching lineup of breweries and beverage vendors that will keep your glasses full and your taste buds buzzing all weekend long. Whether you’re a die-hard hop-head on the hunt for that perfectly balanced, piney West Coast IPA, a fan of smooth and malty ales, or someone who loves the crisp, tart bite of a freshly pressed hard cider, we have something perfectly tailored to your palate.
Not a beer fan? No problem! We’re also bringing in top-tier hard seltzers to keep things light, bubbly, and incredibly refreshing while you hit the dance floor to your favorite throwback anthems.
Part of the festival magic is discovering your new favorite drink. You’ll have the chance to stroll through our vendor village, chat with the passionate folks who actually craft these amazing beverages, and sample a massive variety of flavors. From legendary Southern California brewing pioneers to the hottest names in the cider and seltzer game, the Reel Ale Festival is your passport to beverage paradise. Keep your eyes on our feed over the next few weeks as we shine a spotlight on the specific, amazing brands joining us. Get those tasting glasses ready, tag your drinking buddies below, and let us know what you’re most excited to sip on!
