Unfortunately with this announcement comes ours...
We will be canceling The Lancaster Beer Mile this year. We really appreciate everyone that has participated and supported this event in the past!
We were planning a few more amazing things this year but they will just have to wait till next year.
Keep running and chugging!
I am saddened to share that I have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Lancaster BrewFest.
I know that BrewFest has become a treasured annual tradition since 2013, and I made this decision to ensure the safety of our community and local businesses. I hope that by exercising caution and safety this year, we can enjoy many more BrewFests to come when the current challenges have passed.
Since starting Lancaster BrewFest – my goal was to enjoy the incredible breweries Ohio has to offer and bring those right here to our community, in the company of family and friends. While we cannot celebrate in our traditional way this year, our local breweries and businesses continue to need your support now more than ever. I encourage you to safely continue supporting these businesses, while patiently adhering to their guidelines and requirements mandated by the state. I am working to create a modified celebration of Fairfield County Brew Week activity, without the traditional BrewFest gathering. While it won’t be the same, I hope that it will help our local businesses and each of you enjoy the spirit of BrewFest safely in these unprecedented times. I will announce that information about this initiative as it becomes available.
Thank you for your continued support, and ‘Cheers’ to brighter days ahead!
Aaron Uhl, BrewFest Founder
Fairfield County Brew Week: August 7-15, 2020.
