November 9, 2026 · Comstock Park, MI Michigan's favorite excuse to drink beer in the snow is back. The Michigan Brewers Guild's 21st annual Winter Beer Festival takes place on Saturday, February 27, 2027, at LMCU Ballpark in Comstock Park, just north of Grand Rapids. Expect hundreds of fresh beers from breweries all over the Great Beer State. The Guild posts a mobile friendly beer list, with food, music and a festival map, so you can plan your route before you arrive and keep it handy on the grounds. This is an outdoor festival, in February, in Michigan. The Guild says it plainly: dress accordingly. Fire pits help chase away the cold, and the day also brings live local music plus ice sculptures and carving demonstrations. Food is available from ballpark concessions and local food trucks. The festival runs from 1 to 6 p.m. and is entirely cashless, so bring a debit or credit card for food and merchandise. Everyone must be 21 or older with a valid government ID, designated drivers included, and kids and pets are not allowed. Folding chairs, coolers, food and non-alcoholic drinks in non-glass containers are welcome. Parking is available at the ballpark, and some local hotels run shuttles. Tickets go on sale December 3, 2026. Few beer festivals feel as Michigan as this one. Layer up, grab a spot by a fire pit and work through a list of local beers you have never tried. Mark February 27 and watch for tickets on December 3. Sources: Michigan Brewers Guild official Winter Beer Festival event page and FAQ (mibeer.com).What's pouring
