Winters in Pittsburgh can sometimes feel like they drag on forever, especially once the bitter cold, ice, and snow arrive for the season. To keep our spirits up, we have to find fun things to do – whether we head to an indoor attraction or count down the days to an amazing festival. If you like beer, you’ll definitely want to carve out a day to toast winter at Beerfest, an epic beer festival in Pittsburgh that features hundreds of different craft beers.

Mark your calendar for February 28 and 29, 2020 for the Pittsburgh Winter Beerfest at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center that will feature...

Hundreds of craft beers, poured by breweries from here in Pittsburgh and from around the United States. However, before you buy your tickets, make sure that everyone in your party is 21 or older. Proper identification is required for admission into the festival.

Billing itself as one of the “top 10 largest craft beer events” in the United States, Beerfest is divided into three sessions. Friday and Saturday night sessions run from 6:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. while the Saturday afternoon session is 12 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The cost of admission includes unlimited samples and a commemorative mug. You can choose from several admission options, including the Early Admission and the Regular Admission.

The Connoisseur Session boasts a full list of amenities, including a separate entrance gate, a reception area, and appetizers. (That’s just the beginning.)

Don’t forget to bring a designated driver along, too. Designated drivers will pay just $20 to $25 for admission, which includes water, pop, and a $5 voucher that can be used at one of the food trucks.

Food trucks will also be on hand, so you can buy something delicious to eat as you sample some of the best craft beers in the country. The festival will also feature live entertainment.

Purchase tickets online here. Tickets are available for purchase at the door, although you’ll pay more on the day of the event.
