What is Capitol Beer Fest?

  • The annual festival gathers ~100 high-quality craft brewers from all over California to showcase new + classic brews alike. Watch the 2021 Capitol Beer Fest highlight video to see what you can expect + check out the full list of brewers attending this year and learn where they’re based and what brews they’re bringing.

Who organizes the event?

  • Runnin’ for Rhett is a local nonprofit that aims to “nurture healthy communities through fitness and nutrition.” Every event worker is a volunteer, so 100% of the proceeds can directly fund the nonprofit’s Youth Fitness Program. The event brings in ~$250,000 annually for youth participation in running events + gifting new running shoes to those in need.

I don’t drink. Will I still have a good time?

  • We sure think so. There will be a stage with live music from Daze on the Green + 24 local food trucks offering delicious bites for all the foodies in attendance. Note: Food is not included with the price of your ticket.

Can I still purchase a ticket?

  • Yes. There will be no tickets sold at the gate, so make sure to get yours online this week.

Ticket prices:

🍺 $15 for non-drinkers + designated drivers.
🍺 $45 for general admission.
🍺 $75 for the VIP experience, allowing you to enter the festival an hour prior to the scheduled 1 p.m. start time.
