Kentucky Craft Bash

40+ breweries announced for the Kentucky Craft Bash

Louisville, KY — On Saturday, June 29, 2024 the Kentucky Guild of Brewers will host its 7th annual Kentucky Craft Bash beer festival fundraiser at Waterfront Park’s Festival Plaza.

What sets Kentucky Craft Bash apart from other craft beer festivals is that it turns Festival Plaza into Kentucky’s largest taproom featuring craft beers, cider, sake, and seltzers solely from Kentucky breweries. In addition, the brewers and brewery staff are the ones pouring the suds, giving attendees a chance to meet the brewers and brewery staff that make their products.

“I always look forward to Craft Bash,” said Charley Hamilton, owner of Dreaming Creek Brewery in Richmond, KY. “It gives Dreaming Creek Brewery a chance to share our beers with lots of folks who may not otherwise try them. It also gives us a place to network with all the other breweries in Kentucky and share our industry stories. It’s truly a unique industry that we’re in and the camaraderie amongst brewers is awesome.” 

In addition to a day filled with over 150 beer samples, the festival also features local vendors and food. New this year, Flavor Queen’s Kitchen out of Clarkson, KY will offer a Kentucky staple made with Kentucky beer, burgoo. Owner Janine Washle will also talk about the history of burgoo at the fest.
