This will come as little surprise to most.

We are postponing the 2020 Warm-Up Beer Festival.

As of now, we are penciling in a weekend in August for the make-up date. We still plan on marrying craft beer and art in the most creative way you've ever seen - but right now our focus should be on supporting the breweries that make such an event possible.

Knoxville has made too much progress in beer culture over the last decade to let any single one of them slip away in this tough time. There are multiple ways you can help - Gift Certificates, Crowlers, Growlers, to-go food, merch, and more.

In the time that we would have been working on the beer-festival, we will re-commit that energy to creative ways to support the breweries of Knoxville. We are starting conversations and we are willing to listen. Our goal is like we said, to not let a single one slip into despondency.

We'll be announcing more info soon on the creation of the local brewery support techniques.

Wash your hands...but also, prepare to get your hands dirty - so we can prop up those around us in their time of need.

p.s. If you know you will not be able to make it in August, let us know in an email to info@knoxwarmup.com, and we'll get you refunded. Please consider keeping your tickets, however - this additional prep time will lead to nothing more than the best beer festival you've ever attended.
