BeerFest History:

The history of BeerFest dates much farther back then the first ticket sold.    There was years of beer drinking,  playing  games and music listening that took place to develop what people now know as BEERFEST.  The makings of BEERFEST took a lifetime.

Over 20 events took place around the Alberta prior to it being formalized; all put on by the same owner.    Less formal in those days, the events took place in Calgary, Sherwood Park, Grand Prairie, Lethbridge, Red Deer,  just called BeerFest then.
