The first year we went in 2023, we LOVED Brewfest. We did VIP tickets to enter early, there were a bunch of breweries we had never visited before, it was fun to try all of the creative beers that the breweries brought to sample, Wingstop gave away free wings, and the vibes were right. This year, it was the same day as Harleyfest, the air show, and German fest so parking was INSANE. I was actually grateful for the air show as it added extra entertainment to an otherwise lackluster showing for Brewfest. It felt like there were way too many non-beer options (ciders, seltzers, wine, CBD, kombuchas, n/a, etc) when we paid good money to sample, you guessed it...BEER. A lot of the beers we did sample were pretty common ones you see in the grocery store or straight dumps because they were nothing special. For $75 per person, I do not think we got our money's worth.

Wow-Brewfest 2017 featured great weather and a pleasing-to-the-eye lakefront setting paired with 100 breweries from all over! Beer festivals are one of the easiest ways to be able to try anything and everything, and to discover new favorites. Personal highlights include Next Door Brewing Co's Livacious saison, Steel Head Aleworks' amber ale, Mershon's artisan cider (apples & honey), and Blake's Hard Cider (El Chavo with habanero and mango; Wake Fire with Michigan cherries and orange peel)! The line to get into the festival for ticket holders/advance purchases was kind of ridic but once we made of inside, the vibes were pretty chill. Some breweries ran out of brew before we had a chance to sample (it happens) while others had really long lines (also happens). When we encountered either of these scenarios, we simply pivoted in a diff direction and kept the cups full. Good food vendors! Had a blast! Pro tip--BYO pretzel necklace and up the game by adding things like beef jerky, cheese sticks, fruit snacks, etc. - leveling up goals for next year.

This is just another reason that this city is soooo much fun. This place is filled with breweries and this BREWFEST is awesome. They have a lot of different venders setup here and offer anything you'd want. Gift shop, food and beer to live it up! You can pay the regular fee to go all day or you can pay extra and get some more exclusive things that the other people can't get. They offer the $55, $75 or the really cool $15 (designated driver ticket). Gets you in with a hotdog/brat and 3 drinks (no alcohol). I myself indulged in the $75 tickets and then will Uber home to be safe.

3.8 = 4 stars Beers galore from all over. They had music food great weather nearby parking. Enjoyable happy people. Trying all types of beers. From Wi and the world. Plenty of porta potty. The parking area was organized. Food was OK. Of the three beer festivals I'd rank this a tie for second place with firkinfest and after the Wisconsin beer lovers festival as my favorite event. over all the. Special shout out to Becky S. for allowing me to attend on her behalf. and I continue to be amazed that no one took the famous squirrel mask. great job girls at the Yelp secret security tent. Food 3 selection could have been better with more food trucks and local vendors. but that may not be the focus with a beer fest. pretzels as big or bigger than your head can be found here. from Leffs Lucky town along with a limited menu choice. Ambiance 4 not too crowded and lines seem to move pretty fast. Service 5 fast friendly. Location 4 Value 3 to get your fill and study your maps because many ran out of beer early. 88/2014

This was the first Milwaukee Brewfest that my husband and I attended, and I can say we will be back next year. Thank you, Rachel, and Yelp, for providing tickets for us to have fun! Pros : Holy crap : beers galore. If you enjoy beer, or deem yourself a "beer snob," this is the place for you. It's worth it to get the VIP pass in my opinion. The VIP area offered 'limited release' beers (about 15-20), private porta-potties, and free pretzels. I had a O'so IPA that was good. Three Floyds was also well-represented (they had an aged bourban that was wonderful), and the Rogue Voodoo (with peanut butter and chocolate hints) was amazing. Going on to more of the pros of the fest : The sheer selection of breweries represented was enough to take my breath away. There were lots of rinse stations scattered around the grounds. (It appears Brewfest listened to the areas of concern from last year and responded.) Getting in the grounds was easy and everything was organized and run well on that end. Parking was a non-issue. My husband and I parked a little further down Lake Drive and walked, but it looked like they also offered parking on the grounds. The Brewfest also gives accomodations to the designated drivers. There are also some shuttles available. Cons : Overserved patrons. Despite the warning signs posted around the grounds, I do realize this is something that can't be avoided at these functions. The food selections were somewhat limited. It got a little crowded and the lines for the popular breweries tended to be longer - that's also to be expected. As the day wore on some of the beers ran out - so plan accordingly if there is something you want to try. Needs work : The lines for the porta-potties got a little out of hand towards the end. (Even for the VIP section). Once the beers ran out at the VIP tent, the guy checking the wrist bands left (or was MIA?) so there were people in line for the porta-potties who technically weren't VIP's. Normally I wouldn't care, but I had a lady cut in front of me because she "really had to pee." Well, don't we all? Isn't that why we're standing in line for a porta-potty to begin with? Also : the beer museum. It was a tent with a few select items. It would be cool to see that expanded on next year. It would also be nice to see more food vendors. I loved seeing Maxies, Jacksons, and Leffs. In my opinion this would be a great event to get some more vendors to really show off their food selections / pair with select beers to really showcase. I did not see a whole lot of dump buckets - this lead to people tossing their beer on the ground, which is fine, unless you happen to be walking in front of someone who dumps their beer in front of you and it lands on your leg / shoe. Leaves me perplexed : People who bring kids (in strollers). I don't understand why you would bring a child to an event like this. Next year I'm going to bring a notepad so I can remember everything. As the day wore on I forgot a few things. We will be back next year!

This one's all about location, folks. I mean, Milwaukee: the last great American city, boasts three big beer festivals in the metro area each summer -- Bayshore's Beer Lover's Festival, Firkin Fest, and this guy here... the Milwaukee Brewfest. This one was the last bastien for me. I hadn't been up until this past weekend, and I was pretty dang impressed. What sets this one apart? LOCATION. On the lake, you've got a lovely breeze and a lovely view to frame your beer-drinking, cheese-jerky noshing, game playing, sun-reveling experience. They've got a nice array of breweries and brands represented here, and while some might say that they wished for a bit more in the way of super-nuanced, super-rare beers, it seems to me that breweries were offering up two/three varieties each, and that they were generous with their time and their pours. It certainly got a bit more crowded than I'd like as the afternoon wore on, but IMO, you needn't spend five hours at a beer festival. Also: it's super hard to talk about specific beers when you're pouring for what was seemingly 800+ people. Perhaps if they looked at parsing out entry times it may alleviate some of the crowd problem? Idk. Hammerschlagen was the most fun ever -- thanks Tony K! -- and Leff's big pretzel? NOM. I wish I would've brought: -my own water -a frisbee or a nerf football -a pretzel necklace What I don't love: the Brewfest queen competition. I just don't get it. Overall, I super dig this fest. They're only in their third year, so they're still working out logistics, but overall, I'd say this one is one of my more favorite of the beer fests. It's all about that amazing location, y'all.

My Milwaukee Brewfest you sure have come along way from the humble beginnings! I haven't been in a couple of years and there are some cool new things. The mini German beer area is probably my favorite part of the fest. Hofbrauhaus was there slinging beer along with Sprecher, Paulaner and other German beers. The lines weren't too long for most places. A few breweries like MKE and Abita had some long waits so I stuck to the ones were I could get a quick refill. Places will run out of beer so make sure you hit your favorites right away. The atmosphere could not have been better....Milwaukee air show had the Thunderbirds ripping up the sky while you sipped cold beer by the lake. The only way to make it better would have been sitting in a big gravity chair laying back. Last time I went I purchased the VIP tickets and it really is worth the extra spend. The VIP tickets sell out before the event so get yours early. VIP gets you early admission (1 hour without lines), private toilets (worth their weight in gold), snacks and special beers. Miller was there serving their test brewery samples...I was in heaven! It was the first time I could say I absolutely loved Miller beer. Miller brewed a Belgian style with over 12% ABV....not your typical Miller Light! I wish they would bring back the huge pretzels from a few years ago. They were fantastic! The food choices didn't seem as extensive but not bad for a beer festival. Out of all of the beer fests in Milwaukee this is definitely in the top three for me.

As good as it gets. FO REAL. Shout out to Rachel and YELP for hooking me up with two phenomenal VIP passes! I never could have gone without them and I had an absolute blast. I love the fact that they allow cars to be parked overnight without ticketing or towing consequences, really helps people to make the right choice. My choice however, was to cab it both ways. In my opinion it was not super well organized to get in. No one had heard of this mysterious "will-call" and pointed me in several directions. I was given two press passes and later introduced as "Rachel F" inside. I quickly returned them to the front so Rachel could get in, but then started the quest to find my own tickets all over again. Once in safe and sound, and under my own name, I purchased a pretzel necklace (hello, make your own!) and got to business. SOOOO many breweries. SOOOO many brews. Most of the vendors were pretty knowledgeable, and all of them were having a great time. I noticed the crowd gathering outside and did some quick math (thanks Siri!) to figure out how long I had at each table before the tide came in. I had 88 seconds. Albeit this wasn't exactly the point of the festival, I had a great time. These were seriously the nicest porto potties I have ever seen! There was a shelf, a mirror and the sanitizer never ran out. It was super nice having our own in the VIP area as well. We made tons of friends, and had a blast playing giant jenga. Seriously the people were the best. I ended my night at Miller Time Pub and Grill with our new Michigan friends, and cabbed it home with a full belly. I cannot wait to see what next year brings.

As far as local beer festivals go, this one is definitely the largest with the widest array or breweries and the best location. The price is a bit steep though, and some of the breweries we really wanted to try were only in VIP. I'm not going to spend $25 on top of $50 just to have a 4 oz shot of Deschutes. Also, I'm sure I missed it somewhere online, but I figured they were included with general admission. Overall a great fest with ample room, lots of bathrooms, a good amount of rinse stations, and 100 breweries. I just wish the VIP was handled differently. Maybe you have special brews or casks on the tent so those companies that aren't distributed here in WI can have their flagship available to the general crowd. It was also great to see a Yelp! tent! I will most likely be back next year with my homemade pretzel necklace

Best festival of the summer hands down. If you like beer it's a must. So many choices to try. Make a pretzel necklace, you're going to need it during your 5 hour drinking marathon. It's located on the lakefront and short walk from Brady street if you want to continue the good times on Brady Fest.
