Dallas’ Original Beer Festival is Just Around the Corner

March 27, 2025

The Big Texas Beer Fest, Dallas’ original craft beer festival, is set to celebrate its 13th annual event on April 12, 2025, at the Fair Park Automobile Building. Founded in 2011, the festival has grown into one of Texas’ premier beer events, attracting enthusiasts from across the state and beyond.

Attendees can explore offerings from over 65 breweries, featuring more than 300 selections, including beers, ciders, hard seltzers, hard kombuchas, and meads. Some 2025 featured breweries include 903 Brewers, Altstadt Brewery, Community Beer Company, Armor Brewing Company, Saint Arnold, and many more.

The festival has grown its reputation as the go-to festival for exclusive and hard-to-find beers, including rare brews, limited releases, and one-of-a-kind creations that are not found on grocery store shelves. Because brewing timelines can be unpredictable, festival organizers unveil the beer list about a week before the event.

While at least a third of our participating brewers hail from Texas, the festival showcases incredible breweries from across the U.S. and around the world.

Hungry? Grab a bite from one of the many food trucks or local vendors, then kick back and enjoy live performances from talented local musicians on the outdoor stage.

The event is community-focused, too. For 11 years, proceeds from the festival have helped to provide over 250,000 meals to hungry North Texans thanks to the partnership with the North Texas Food Bank.

VIP tickets are priced at $80, and the tickets offer early entry at 1:30 p.m., providing an exclusive opportunity to sample selections before general admission begins. General admission starts at 3 p.m., allowing attendees ample time to enjoy the festival’s offerings.
