About this Event
Saturday, January 30, 2027
Join us on Saturday, January 30, 2027 for the 14th annual Rhode Island Brew Fest — the state’s biggest celebration of American craft beer. Sample from 50+ breweries and over 200 styles across two sessions: 1:00–4:00 PM and 5:30–8:30 PM. Your ticket includes unlimited samples, access to food vendors, and more. Every attendee will receive a custom glass upon exit.
WaterFire Arts Center
The impeccably renovated WaterFire Arts Center has high ceilings and massive windows showcasing the rich history of this building’s industrial past while clean lines and contemporary finishes clearly define this space as a cutting-edge event venue.
Rhode Island Brewer's Guild
We proudly support the attending brewers by purchasing all of their product at the festival. Unlike many beer festivals, there are no booth fees for brewers, we actually pay them to participate on top of donating a portion of every ticket sold to the Rhode Island Brewers Guild.
21+ Event
The Rhode Island Brew Fest is a 21+ event. No one under the legal age will be admitted, including minors, children, infants and babies. No pets allowed.
Extreme Weather Policy
Our events are held rain, snow or shine. However, there is always the potential for extreme or severe winter weather conditions. Event organizers will do as much as we can to ensure the experience is as safe as possible. In the event of severe weather, the event may be delayed as race officials consult public safety officers. If there is more than a short delay, if conditions persist, or the forecast calls for extreme weather, we reserve the right to alter or cancel the event. We do not schedule “rain dates”. Any decision to cancel an event is done as an absolute last resort and is made collectively with local risk management, police, fire & rescue, and medical personnel as appropriate. In such situations, there will be NO REFUNDS as registrants accept any such risk of their entry free when purchasing tickets.
Please check the website, our Facebook page, and your email before the festival for any changes or cancellations.
