The 18th Annual Baytowne Wharf Beer Fest transforms the picturesque Village of Baytowne Wharf into a craft beer lover's ultimate playground over a full October weekend. More than 40 breweries from across the nation pour their finest craft ales, lagers, stouts, and IPAs in the festive village setting, all framed by Sandestin's stunning lagoon views.
Beyond the classic brews, the festival delivers Seltzer Lane for hard seltzer fans, an Import Lane showcasing international flavors, premium bourbon tasting stations, and thoughtful food pairings to match every pint. New this year: the Baytowne Backyard Bash brings cozy bonfires and an intimate outdoor atmosphere to the mix for a truly unique tasting experience.
Set against the brick-lined streets and waterfront charm of Baytowne Wharf, the Beer Fest is one of the Emerald Coast's most beloved fall events — ideal for a long weekend trip as the October weather turns perfectly comfortable for outdoor sipping. Grab a tasting glass, explore every lane, and make a weekend of it in one of Florida's most beautiful resort villages.
