On Saturday, February 24th, 2024 the Tennessee Winter Beer Fest (TWBF) will celebrate its 12th year. The TWBF will be held from 3pm to 8pm at Company Distilling in Townsend.
The TWBF began as an idea from Maryville resident Mike Adams, he simply wanted to put on a beer festival. Through conversations with several friends a board was formed and a charity identified to benefit from the event, New Hope Blount County Children’s Advocacy Center. The TWBF has grown since its beginning, officially becoming a 501(c)3 in 2014. While the size of the event has stayed consistent at roughly 350 tickets, the donation amount to New Hope has grown reaching a record $26,000 in 2019!
The board of the TNWBF hopes to maintain or break its 2019 record and has reached out to Tennessee breweries and local businesses to achieve this objective. Breweries that will be in attendance for the 2024 event are your local favorites and more! Stay tuned here for a full list!
Several local businesses are sponsoring the TWBF including Citizens Bank, Insurefit, The Trentham Santiago Group, The Brewing and Distilling Center, The Townsend Abbey, and The Causal Pint Northshore. Multiple other individuals and companies have also donated to the silent auction which is shaping up to be the best yet!
Tickets can be purchased online at www.tennesseewinterbeerfest.com for $75. The ticket price includes a commemorative glass, beer and dinner catered from Miss Lily’s Catering in Townsend. Designated driver tickets can be purchased for $37.50 which also includes dinner.
