After 10 years of Extreme Beer Fest, we've decided to make some big changes based on new goals, and feedback from attendees and brewers. In a nutshell: We're changing venues, inviting more brewers, giving more attendees a chance to experience the fest and augmenting the education component.



WHAT?

Extreme Beer Fest is the ultimate throwdown of craft beer creativity. Join us as we celebrate brewers who push the boundaries of brewing and raise a fist at the norm. Minds will be blown. Palates will be inspired. Prepare for epicness.



"As an off-centered brewery focused on playing outside stylistic guidelines every day since we opened in 1995, this is a movement we at Dogfish Head have always believed in. With the explosive interest in extreme brewing these days, we agreed with the Alströms that now is the right time to move EBF to a venue that will allow for more awesome beers to be served and more awesome beer lovers to experience them."



-- Sam Calagione, President and Founder, Dogfish Head Brewery ​
