Note: The 2016 Houston Firkin Fest was originally scheduled for Saturday, April 30th but unfortunately severe weather warnings caused the festival to be rescheduled. Please join us for the new date Saturday, June 18th!

The Houston Firkin Fest is a celebration of unique Texas craft beer served in traditional casks (or firkins). Now in its third year, the Houston Firkin Fest gives attendees the opportunity to sample unique, rare and hard to get beers from craft breweries in Houston and across the state. With small batch beers and capped attendance, expect a much more intimate sampling environment than your average festival.
