October 5, 2026 · Austin, TX The Texas Craft Brewers Festival returns Saturday, November 14, 2026, to Fiesta Gardens, the historic park at 2101 Jesse E. Segovia Street in East Austin. Billed as the largest annual celebration of small and independent Texas craft breweries, it promises 70-plus Texas breweries and more than 200 beers, with brewers on hand to meet. General admission entry is at 2 p.m. and VIP entry is at noon. Last call is 6:15 p.m., and the gates close at 6:30 p.m. GA and VIP tickets each include a commemorative tasting cup and 10 sample tickets, each good for a 3-ounce pour, and extra sample tickets are sold on site at $5 for 10. The early bird GA price is listed at $55.57 with fees, and the base price goes up $5 on October 17. VIP is already sold out. Designated driver tickets are $23.77 and include non-alcoholic drinks and snacks. A separate Tailgate Lounge add-on offers shaded seating, college football on a big screen, exclusive beers, and brewer meet and greets. The festival is organized by the Texas Craft Brewers Guild, the nonprofit association that works on advocacy and education for the state's craft brewing industry. It is strictly 21+ with no exceptions, and tickets are non-refundable. For a one-stop sample of Texas independent beer, Fiesta Gardens on November 14 is the place to be, and buying before October 17 saves a few dollars.
