Get Ready For Craft Brews At The ALEgan Beer Fest

For those who are over the winter season and I are thinking warm thoughts with cold beer, the ALEgan Beer Fest was clearly thinking the same thing as they have announced the 2026 installment of the annual event, which will happen May 16 from 2 to 8 PM, once again hosted by the Allegan Jaycees.

They are still in the planning stages of the event, but their fifth annual craft beer festival is becoming a popular staple event of the Allegan area.

There’s very limited information, but this past year, general admission tickets were $35 for pre-sale and $40 the day of, with the option of purchasing a designated driver ticket for only $10.

There is once again expected to be food and nonalcoholic beverages available, and you have to be 21 and over to enter.

Last year, tickets included 10 drink tokens with additional tokens being available to purchase, and there were a number of breweries and wineries on site.

Once again, they’re asking that no pets be brought to the event, and in case of rain, the event will be held inside the Allegan County Fairgrounds.

Guests are encouraged to bring yard and lawn chairs to the event at their leisure. We’re all other inquiries, you can reach out to the event hosts alleganjaycees1939@gmail.com.

This year, there will be plenty to do in Allegan, from the new zipline feature they've installed, and Michigan's largest ropes course is always a hit. Just make sure you don't drink too many beers before heading into these places, because that might produce some unpleasant results.
