BREAKING | 2025 WeldWerks Invitational Festival Returns in February

After taking a two-year hiatus, the WeldWerks Invitational, one of the country’s premiere showcases of rare and specialty beers is primed to return on February 8, 2025. Next year’s festival will celebrate WeldWerks Brewing’s monumental 10th anniversary with another all-star lineup of breweries from across the country and internationally as well.

First launched in 2018, the WeldWerks Invitational, quickly established itself as one of the most well-regarded beer festivals in the country not just because of its curated lineup of breweries but also for its holistic approach toward the guest experience. In its three years of hosting the event, guests were treated to an elevated experience of attending an event that was intentionally never over-sold, included additional elements like fundraising silent auctions with proceeds supporting WeldWerks’ Community Foundation, additional releases, and specialty tappings at the host brewery just across the street, and a code of conduct implemented to guarantee the safety and comfort of all attendees. Additionally, for brewers, the amenities went even further, with a hospitality room for breaks from the action, as well as a pre-festival dinner and post-festival party.

Tickets for the 2025 WeldWerks Invitational will go on sale on November 9 at 10 a.m. MT with a portion of proceeds once again supporting the WeldWerks Community Foundation. The February 8, 2025 event will once again feature two sessions, a morning session running from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. as well as an afternoon session from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

“As we approach our 10th anniversary, we thought that bringing back one of our most successful and most requested events would be the perfect way to commemorate such a huge milestone,” says WeldWerks Founder and Owner Neil Fisher. “Since we opened in 2015, fostering community and cultivating meaningful experiences has been just as important as our efforts to advance beer quality and innovation. There is no better culmination of all of those values than the WeldWerks Invitational Festival!”

The initial list of participating breweries includes a wide range of nationally and internationally recognized breweries as well as several of WeldWerks’ local favorites.
