 Hey, Have You Heard About the Whistler Beer Festival?

Okay, if you’re thinking about a fun September getaway, let me tell you about something you’ll absolutely love: the Whistler Beer Festival 2025. It’s coming back this year from September 8 to 14, and honestly, it’s the perfect way to wrap up summer in Whistler.

Why the Whistler Beer Festival Is So Fun 

Basically, it’s a whole week dedicated to craft beer (plus cider, seltzer, and canned cocktails if that’s more your vibe). The main event for the Whistler Village Beer Festival is on Saturday, September 13 at Whistler Olympic Plaza, and it’s such a blast. Picture this: over 40 different breweries and beverage makers setting up with 80+ drinks to sample, all with the gorgeous Whistler mountains as your backdrop. It’s like the ultimate patio session, but way bigger.

Here’s What Happens at Whistler Beer Festival

You walk in and get a cute little sampling mug for tastings.

There are tokens you use to grab your samples – you can buy them in packs or grab extras from people walking around selling them.

They’ve got food trucks everywhere, live music playing, and fun games like giant Jenga.

Everyone’s just chilling, chatting with brewers, and voting for their favourite drinks of the day.

Tickets & Passes for Whistler Beer Festival

You can get General Admission tickets, which gets you in with your mug and some tokens. Or if you’re feeling extra, grab the All‑Access Pass. That gets you early entry, more tokens, express lines (no waiting forever for a drink), a party ticket for later at Longhorn Saloon, lunch, exclusive festival swag, plus hotel and activity discounts. Totally worth it if you’re going all-in for the weekend at the Whistler Village Beer Festival.

Honestly, it’s always better to grab tickets early and save a bit – more money for extra tokens and food truck treats.

Last Year’s Highlights

Just so you know, last year’s winners were Coast Mountain Brewing for best beer and Cinco Drink Co. for best canned beverage. Everyone was raving about them, so if they’re back this year, definitely try their samples at the festival.

Quick Tips for Whistler Beer Festival

Get there early to beat the crowds.

Bring both card and cash – some vendors only take one or the other.

No pets or minors (it’s 19+ only, and only service animals are allowed).

Make a little game plan because with over 80 drinks to sample, time flies.

Why I Love Whistler Beer Festival

Seriously, beer just tastes better in the mountains. There’s something about standing there with a cold cider or hazy IPA, music playing, everyone in a good mood, and those epic Whistler views all around. Even if you’re not a huge beer person, there are tons of cider and cocktail options to sip on. Plus, it’s just a fun day out with friends at the Whistler Village Beer Festival.

Final Cheers
