After selling out in its first year, the Fishtown Beer Festival is getting a bit bigger.<\/p>\n
This year, more than 20 of the region\u2019s premier breweries will convene to showcase their work, with each pouring two distinct selections. The event will feature nearly 40 beers ranging from fan-favorite, signature offerings to limited editions and hidden gems. The Festival takes place Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. outside Evil Genius Beer Company, along Front Street between Columbia Ave and Palmer St. in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis festival is our love letter to Philly\u2019s brewing scene and the neighborhood that helped make us who we are today,\u201d Evil Genius co-founder Trevor Hayward said. \u201cFishtown has become one of the top beer destinations in the country, and after seeing the community response last year, we knew we had to go even bigger. It\u2019s about more than just the beer; it\u2019s about celebrating the culture of our home neighborhood.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 2026 lineup features a mix of Fishtown favorites and regional heavyweights including Tired Hands, Yards and Love City. Guests can also expect to see Cartesian, Philadelphia Brewing, Punch Buggy. Space Cadet, Urban Village, Wissahickon Brewing, and more.<\/p>\n
The festival will transform the block into an outdoor celebration.<\/p>\n
Attendees can enjoy music from a DJ while exploring an array of street food. The Evil Genius kitchen will move outdoors for the afternoon, serving up a curated menu of festival-style items designed to pair with the day\u2019s diverse beer list.<\/p>\n
