Overview Kennett Brewfest is a one-afternoon craft beer festival in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, where a general ticket buys unlimited tastings from more than 80 breweries pouring over 200 beers. A smaller Connoisseur Session gets in first for rare and limited-edition pours from 30-plus of them. The festival started in 1998 and sets up at 600 South Broad Street. Kennett Collaborative, a downtown nonprofit incorporated in 1986, runs it, and the proceeds fund its farmers market, Third Thursdays and the Holiday Light Parade. Kennett Square's mushroom farms grow about half the country's crop. On site General admission ran 1:30 to 5 in 2026, with a Brewfest tasting mug for every ticket. Connoisseur guests get a signature glass, a catered lunch from Natalie's Fine Foods and a vote for Best of Connoisseur. The 2026 pour list included 21st Amendment, 2SP, Artillery, Big Oyster, Braeloch, Cinderlands, Conshohocken, East Branch, Evil Genius and Farmers and Bankers, and ready-to-drink cocktails joined the lineup for the first time. Tucked In and Lazy Villains played rock, folk and Americana, the YMCA brought its Fit Truk, and food came from nine vendors including 2 Fat Guys and State Street Pizza, with 15-plus retail stalls. Private 10-by-10 cabanas hold up to ten people. Audience It is 21 and over with ID, rain or shine, and there are non-alcoholic tickets with NA beers and mocktails, including a non-alcoholic Connoisseur pass. The crowd dresses up: Brewfest judges a Best Dressed contest and a Best Snacklace contest for the snack necklaces people wear between pours. Volunteers work the day in exchange for free admission. Brand presence Sponsorship is sold as named, mostly exclusive positions rather than a logo wall: the tasting mug every general ticket carries, the main stage with a banner and a band shout-out, the Connoisseur Session, the activity area around the Fit Truk, the tailgate, and the entrance with a vendor table. The 2026 sponsor packet listed the main stage, Connoisseur, activity and tailgate positions as already taken. Every level includes tickets and a place in Brewfest's email and social posts.
