27th annual Brewsfest this weekend in Kellogg

KELLOGG — For almost 30 years, Brewsfest has been a highlight on Silver Mountain’s summer calendar, and once again the celebration of craft beer looks to be a hoppin’ good time.  

Twenty-one breweries and cideries will be featured at the 27th annual Brewsfest on Saturday, including local favorites like Radio Brewing and Wallace Brewing Company. Bigger breweries like 10 Barrel and Sierra Nevada will also be featured.  

Along with six drink tokens, each ticket grants the buyer a gondola trip to the top of Silver Mountain, where the breweries are set up inside the mountain’s amphitheater. There will be live music while people peruse the breweries.  

This time around, music will be provided by the Moops, followed by headliners Robin Barrett and the Coyote Kings, featuring Tiphony Dames. Megan Sullivan will perform during the Brewsfest afterparty in the Silver Mountain Gondola Village.  

Each year, Silver Mountain uses the event as a way for local groups to raise funds. Volunteers will help with everything from ticket taking to pouring drinks. This year, Kellogg High School athletics will handle all of the volunteer duties during Brewsfest. 

Brewsfest is the longest-running event in Silver Mountain history.

"The forecast for Saturday looks perfect for tasting beer and listening to music at the top of the mountain,” said marketing coordinator Gus Colburn.

Brewsfest is from 1 to 6 p.m. The afterparty runs from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Silver Mountain Gondola Village.
