After what seems like the longest month in the history of existence, February has finally arrived and the onset of Stout Month already looks bright. Believe it or not, the 2025 WeldWerks Invitational returns THIS SATURDAY, and even more astounding is the fact that a handful of tickets still remain for this god-tier beer festival.

If there should be any concerns over the enormity of beer talent that will be on hand for this year’s fest, our first look at what’s expected to be poured at the fest should help quell any trepidation you might have had over snagging a ticket.

National heavy hitters from the trendy barrel-aged beer producers include 3 Sons Brewing’s Vanilla Big Sxxxy, Forager’s Barrel-aged Bangkok, HOMES Brewery’s Permanent Homes 2024, Highland Park’s Barrel Aged Griffith, Mortalis’ Barrel-aged Thanatos, Other Half’s Triple Drupe collab with Horus Aged Ales, Phase Three’s Arabesque 2024 and Eunoia, Side Project’s 11 Candles, Toppling Goliath’s Coconut, Pecan, Vanilla Assassin, just to name a few.

The fest’s old guard producers are also bringing the heat this year with treats like Russian River’s Pliny the Younger, Jester King’s SPON, Firestone Walker’s exciting trio of specialty collabs, Parabanoche (Collab with WeldWerks), Billiard Money (Collab with WeldWerks), Oakpocalypse (Collab with Revolution).

And some of WeldWerks’ local friends won’t be slacking either as they’ll be rolling out some treats in Amalgam’s Another Realm, Casey’s Jammy and Coffee Vanilla Infinite Nothing, Cerebral’s Endeavor Age of Monsters, and New Image’s Madera PX Sherry to name a few.

Please note, that this is just the initial projected pour list and is subject to change at any time leading up to the festival. Be sure to keep an eye out on the WeldWerks Invitational Festival official pour list page for the most updated lineup.
