Welcome to the official website of the Brewgrass Festival. Hosted by the Great Smokies Craft Brewers Association and benefiting Big Brothers & Big Sisters of Western North Carolina, the Brewgrass Festival has quickly become one of the most popular beer and bluegrass events in the Southeast.

We are gearing up for another great year of beer in the mountains of beautiful Western North Carolina. Last year's event was a huge success and the venue drew great reviews so we have secured the same site as last year. We are still finishing up the last of the booking for the bands. We are proud to have multi award winner Jim Lauderdale. If you haven't caught his show, you are in for a treat. We also have finally been able to get the Biscuit Burners and Brewgrass together after 3 years of trying. Very hard working band and a ton of fun. As we get more we will update the site. Tickets will be on sale before the end of April. The event has consistently sold out each year, so get them while you can. The price has gone up a little for the first time in 7 years yet the price to stage the event has increased each year. We want to be able to continue to give to all to charities involved. Hope you understand. See you in September. Festival Photos! Beer South Pix has a bunch of photos from the 2007 Brewgrass Festival. Check them out here.

Each year in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, we gather over 30 American breweries to showcase more than 100 different beers. We add a great lineup of national and regional bluegrass musicians that, in the past, has included such notables as Jimmy Martin, J.D. Crowe, The Osborne Brothers, Norman Blake, Tony Trischka, Bad Livers, Valerie Smith, Tony Furtado, Yonder Mountain String Band, and Sons Of Ralph. We also feature a variety of area food vendors and plenty of water.

Put all these things together and you have the ingredients for the perfect beer day.

You can find all the information you need to attend the festival right here, including:
