Sadly, the Better Beer Coalition has made the decision to cancel the 2020 Rails & Ales Craft Beer Festival, originally scheduled for August 8th. The advanced planning required for this event combined with the unpredictability of continued outbreaks this summer means we simply cannot proceed. We are super bummed but know it’s the right decision for the health and safety of our patrons, volunteers, vendors and community at large.

We are looking at creative ways we can continue to support our beloved WV breweries during this challenging time, and we’ll keep you updated as plans solidify. Folks all around the state have worked hard to foster the craft beer culture that we all enjoy, and WV breweries need our support now more than ever. When you buy beer, buy local. The survival of the craft beer industry in WV is dependent upon our support.

We appreciate your support over the years and hope you are staying safe and healthy. We'll see you on August 14, 2021 for our 8th (mostly) annual beer fest. Cheers!
