2023 Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Fest Tickets On-Sale Date
The Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Fest makes its return to Paso Robles, California on Saturday, June 3, 2023. With over 55 breweries from across the globe, all curated by Firestone Walker Brewmaster Matt Brynildson, this festival is one that will impress any craft beer fan!
Tickets to the 2023 Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Fest (FWIBF) will go on-sale via Eventbrite beginning at 10:00am PST on Friday, February 17. The festival will take place from Noon – 5:00pm outdoors at the Paso Robles Events Center.
Historically, the event has sold out within minutes, so prospective guests are advised to mark their calendars. Tickets are priced at $125 for general admission, and $250 for one-hour early admission. Event proceeds benefit Pioneer Day, a beloved Paso Robles community organization dedicated to local events and historic preservation.
Since the festival’s debut in 2012, the festival has showcased an international group of leading craft breweries, as well as live music and food from over 25 local restaurants and purveyors. The brewery, restaurant and music lineup will be announced at a later date on the festival’s website.
“The Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Fest was born from a dream of creating a world-class festival featuring some of the best brewers in the world,” said Brewmaster Matt Brynildson, in a statement. “This is a day when we can set the sales pitches aside and simply share our beers and stories with passionate craft drinkers.”
