The Venue:
Ski Run Boulevard
Tahoe Brewfest V.I.P. Experience
The Family:
Even though it’s all about the beer, we didn’t forget about the kiddos. Plenty of games/activities like Cornhole, Giant Jenga, and face painting. We’ll also have some craft mocktails!
The Music:
Lake Tahoe DJs, DJ Diversity, DJ Deon will spin different music genres throughout the event, while the Tahoe Fire Dancers perform their Circus Bubble Show and Matt Kauffman of Treefort Design creates live art. Also, Ukubabies will perform in the VIP Chill Zone.
The Beer Lineup:
Brews, ciders, kombucha, root beer, and maybe a few extra surprises. There will also be a convoy of food trucks and talented craft vendors! Plus, what’s better than great beer, fun friends, AND Lake Tahoe all mixed together? View our website and Facebook page to stay updated on participating breweries.
Open to all ages, this clean, family-friendly festival serves up craft beers and a full spread of fresh bites from the area. Filled to the brim with enthusiasm and positivity, the Tahoe Brewfest has that “glass-half-full” vibe (but always with a full glass). This year (as always), we strive to go bigger and better. More breweries, more music, and more food!
New this year, the VIP Bubble Den, sponsored by US Bank, located at Black Bear Lodge. It’s a second VIP space we’re adding this year, with access to the BGCLT Summer Art Exhibition, shaded garden areas, and a private indoor bathroom. VIP guests can enjoy exclusive charcuterie and craft beverages in this space.

– Unlimited tastings of 40+ Breweries (Beer, Ciders, Kombucha, etc.)
– Live music on multiple stages
– Food trucks galore

Born out of a desire to showcase the local craft brew scene and to give back to the community, the Tahoe Brewfest was the invention of Deb Brown of Cold Water Brewery. She engaged FNCTN to manage the music and then partnered with the Boys and Girls Club to provide additional event management and to receive the profits. The first year was a great success, with a very high number of out-of-town attendees, and it was clear that Tahoe has a thirst for beer and fun.
The mission of the Tahoe Brewfest is to benefit not just the Boys & Girls Club of Lake Tahoe, but also local businesses and the community as a whole. We specifically chose a weekend with no other events happening. That way we won’t compete for attendees and can draw visitors to Tahoe on an otherwise quiet weekend. We are looking to partner with lodging properties, restaurants and other businesses to drive Brewfest attendees to their doors before and after the event. We also intend to run a responsible event, and will be encouraging walking and biking, shuttles from lodging or rides with local Lyft drivers to and from the Brewfest.
With a bit of luck and a lot of hard work, the Brewfest has the potential to raise much needed funding for the Club, and to become a signature South Shore event that celebrates everything about Tahoe.
Tickets are still available for purchase at http://www.tahoebrewfest.com. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Boys & Girls Club of Lake Tahoe.
We are still actively accepting new Breweries, Cideries, Distilleries, Meaderies, and Kombucha Breweries. Here is the link to the google form that you will need to fill out if you want to participate: https://forms.gle/fLUztG9MJgSunwXT7
