About Kentucky Craft Bash
Kentucky Craft Bash is the Commonwealth’s all-Kentucky beer festival, bringing independent breweries from across the state together for one big celebration of local beer.
Craft Bash began in 2017 as Kentucky’s statewide beer festival built around breweries from the Commonwealth.
Every participating brewery is based in Kentucky, keeping the focus on local beer, local makers, and the state’s independent brewing community.
Every ticket helps support the Kentucky Guild of Brewers and its work to advocate for and advance Kentucky craft beer.
Powered by the Kentucky Guild of Brewers
The Kentucky Guild of Brewers is the united voice for Kentucky’s craft breweries, supporting members through advocacy, education, events, and industry connection. Craft Bash brings that mission to life by gathering breweries, beer fans, and local supporters in one place.
The Guild stands for Kentucky brewers
Kentucky’s breweries are more than places to grab a beer. They are local businesses, gathering spaces, and creative teams helping shape communities across the Commonwealth. The Kentucky Guild of Brewers exists to support that work statewide.
Advocacy
The Guild represents Kentucky breweries and helps make sure their voices are heard when industry decisions are being made.
Education
From shared resources to industry events, the Guild helps brewery teams learn, grow, and stay connected.
Community
Craft Bash brings brewers, beer fans, sponsors, and local businesses together around one simple idea: Kentucky beer is worth supporting.
Say Cheers to Kentucky Beers
Craft Bash is the largest annual fundraiser for the Kentucky Guild of Brewers, but their work for independent breweries happens year-round. You can keep supporting the people pouring your favorite local beers by visiting a Kentucky taproom or joining our 2027 mailing list.
