13th Annual Gig Harbor Beer Festival Benefits Local Kiwanis
Spring has finally sprung — time to welcome it properly at the 13th Annual Gig Harbor Beer Festival. This year’s event will be held Saturday, May 18, 2024, at the Gig Harbor Uptown Pavilion, 4701 Pt. Fosdick Dr. This long-running popular event features a wide-variety of craft brewers from around the Puget Sound bringing their very best suds for sample pours from 12 noon to 5:00 PM.
More brewers will be added soon, but here’s what the list looks like so far:
- 7 Seas Brewing
- Acorn Brewing
- Bent Bine Brewing
- Crane Castle Brewing
- Ghostfish Brewing
- Gig Harbor Brewing
- Lazy Boy Brewing
- Narrows Brewing
- Rainy Daze Brewing
- Ridgeline Brewing
- Silver City Brewery
- San Juan Seltzer
- Locust Cider
- 2 Towns Cider
Gig Harbor’s own Heritage Distilling Company will also be in attendance again this year offering samples of their award-winning spirits — always a very special treat for event goers.
The LIVE Music venue includes three local artists/bands: Classic rock from RAUCOUS, country music singer, Gene Sievers, and headlining again this year is Harbor favorite, My Guilty Pleasure.
This year looks like it could be another sellout. If you don’t have tickets, go here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/13th-annual-gig-harbor-beer-festival-tickets-815717843027?aff=ebdshpsearchautocomplete
