On Saturday, February 24th, 2024 the Tennessee Winter Beer Fest (TWBF) will celebrate its 12th year. The TWBF will be held from 3-8 p.m. at Company Distilling (8351 Tennessee 73) in Townsend.
The TWBF began as an idea from Maryville resident Mike Adams, he simply wanted to put on a beer festival. Through conversations with several friends a board was formed and a charity identified to benefit from the event, New Hope Blount County Children’s Advocacy Center. The TWBF has grown since its beginning, officially becoming a 501(c)3 in 2014. While the size of the event has stayed consistent at roughly 350 tickets, the donation amount to New Hope has grown reaching a record $26,000 in 2019!
Tickets can be purchased online at www.tennesseewinterbeerfest.com for $75. The ticket price includes a commemorative glass, beer and dinner catered from Miss Lily’s Catering in Townsend. Designated driver tickets can be purchased for $37.50 which also includes dinner.
