Key West BrewFest is coming to 24 North Hotel. Join us for Biergarten on the Lawn, one of the premier events of the 2024 Key West BrewFest, on the Sunset Green Event Lawn (between 24 North Hotel and The Gates). The Marshall Morlock Band will be here, along with Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., Cigar City Brewing, and Cayo Hueso Brewing to sample their beer. We’ll also have a water hydration station from No Day Off Premium Water and a German-inspired menu from the food truck, The Blind Pig.
Also taking place will be the Monster Brewing Pool Party from 4 to 10 p.m. at Rum Row at The Gates Hotel pool (our sister hotel located just next door) with a DJ and fun giveaways and samples of Monster Brewing’s Nasty Beast Hard Iced Tea.
Reserve your spot for Biergarten on the Lawn at Eventbrite or AllEvents and join our Facebook Event Page to connect with us.
The event is hosted by the Sunrise Rotary and will raise funds for local non-profits and high school graduates. Admission is free!
Key West BrewFest 2024 Events
The main event is the BrewFest Main Beer Tasting, which takes place Sat., Aug. 31 from 5 - 8 p.m. (3 - 8 p.m. for VIPs) on South Beach, at the Southernmost Beach Café at 1405 Duval St. Your general admission ticket gets you unlimited tastes of beer at the festival from some of the biggest craft brewers in the world. While the tasting event is the highlight, it doesn’t even tap the surface of BrewFest - there’s plenty more planned for the long weekend.
Tastings aside, make sure to get tickets for at least one of the beer brunch or dinner pairings. Some of the island’s best restaurants and chefs are teaming up to create specialty menus to compliment the festival’s featured beers.
For a complete list of times and events, stay up to date with the Key West BrewFest schedule - which is being added to daily! Events are taking place at select locations across the island.
