Set on the scenic shores of Lake Michigan, the Door County Beer Festival boasts one of the most unique backdrops of any beer fest in the nation. Door County has been a destination vacation for many years due to its beautiful location, but it’s the recent rise of the local craft beer scene that has added to the luster of the premiere Wisconsin peninsula getaway spot. The Door County Beer Festival celebrates all of this by combining locally sourced food, local beer and a good vibe to create a truly unique beer festival experience.

Along with boasting local staples like Door County Brew Company and Shipwrecked Brew Pub, the festival also sports an impressive lineup of over 50 breweries across the Midwest and beyond, including a few of my favorites: Karben4, Fulton and Bell’s, along with several newcomers and microbreweries that I can’t wait to try out. Top of my list to try includes newbies Noble Roots and Thumb Knuckle.
