When: April 26th – 27th, 2019 Where: Tom McCall Waterfront Park – Katy, TX, United States Why we selected this festival: Spotlight on Business Magazine did not rank the festival but our research and editorial teams both have given top spot to Wild West Brewfest (WWBF) as the festival has over 100 different brewers and 600 beers with over 140,000 square feet of beer that happen this past weekend. The event has a VIP climate-controlled tent and an outdoor patio where the VIP patrons can chill out and enjoy rare and barrel-aged beers. The WWBF also boasts a game zone, sports zone, multiple beer garden tents and much more! We love these guys because not only do they serve amazing beer, but they have raised over $500,000 giving back all of their net profits to charities. The WWBF is run 100% by volunteers, and they could not be better ambassadors for the brewing industry. This is not just a festival for the love of beer, but for the enjoyment of beer lovers and most of all for a good cause which makes it tops on our listing this year and it should be on the top of your bucket list for next year!
