The best kind of hangover is the one made of memories (and maybe a little bit of dehydration).

​Looking back at a weekend of gold-standard brews and even better company. To the legends who traveled from every corner of the country: we hope your road trip home was shorter than your recovery time!

​We’re humbled by the miles you covered and the love you brought to our little corner of the world. The dust has settled and the spirit of this weekend isn't going anywhere. Thank you for being part of the legend. Cheers to the journey and the destination!

What an unforgettable day yesterday turned out to be 🙌

From incredible craft beers and bold new flavours to amazing outfits, epic challenges and a dance floor that never stopped moving, you brought the energy from start to finish. Even the rain couldn’t slow the vibes down!

The laughter, the music, the friendships made over a cold beer… this is what the Clarens Beer Festival is all about.

A huge thank you to every brewer, vendor, artist and festival-goer who made the magic happen.

Until next time, keep the beers cold and the memories flowing.

What. A. Day. 🙌

Day 2 at the Clarens Beer Festival 2026 brought the heat and not just from the beer.

🍺 Incredible brews flowing all day
🎭 Next-level, wildly creative outfits
🌶️ A hot wing challenge that separated the brave from the bold
🌧️ And a proper downpour that still couldn’t slow the party down

Rain? We danced.
Spicy chips? We survived (mostly).
Beer? We absolutely delivered.

A massive THANK YOU to everyone who came out, dressed up, sipped, danced and made this weekend unforgettable 💛

We’re already counting down to doing it all again next year

Clarens regulars and crowd favourites, are back with more of their delicious creations 🙌

What started as a few pints and a home-brew setup in Shawn Duthie’s garden quickly levelled up from cooler boxes to stainless steel. By 2016, they had their own brewhouse and haven’t looked back since.

Catch Jake and his legendary team at the festival and get your hands on:

🍺 Better Judgement

Pop by, say hi and try something new, which one are you pouring first?

We’re excited to welcome back , proudly brewing since 2014 and built on a love for experimentation, bold ideas and serious flavour.

For them, brewing isn’t just a job… it’s a passion turned profession. Quality before quantity. Experience before excess. Beer that makes you pause, sip and savour.

Here’s what they’ve brought to the festival this year:

🍺 Märzen Lager
🍒 Cherry Charge Electrolyte Sour
🍫 Brownie Points Dunkel
🔥 Smoked Plum Porter
🥜 Peanut Butter Porter
🌼 Elderflower Golden Ale
🍯 Braggot Honey Beer

From crisp and classic to rich and indulgent, fruity and floral to smoky and smooth, there’s a flavour adventure waiting in every pour.

So tell us… Which one has been your favourite so far?

The first day of the Clarens Beer Festival 2026 was all the vibes 🙌

If that was just the warm-up… Day 2 is officially underway and we can’t wait to see what’s in store.

More beers.
More beats.
More memories loading… 🍻🎶

Let’s do this, Clarens!

Day 1 of Clarens Beer Festival came in HOT!!

Cold craft brews flowing. Live music turning up the vibe. Friends reunited. Strangers becoming legends. That first sip? Unmatched.

If you missed it… we felt your FOMO all the way to the taps.

But don’t stress, Day 2 is loading and it’s bigger, louder and even more refreshing.

Comment if you’re joining us tomorrow 🥳
