Join the nonprofit Brewers of Indiana Guild for the return of its spring fundraiser, the 9th Bloomington Craft Beer Festival on Saturday, April 11, 2020 from 3 – 6 p.m. at the incredibly unique Historic Woolery Mill, a former limestone mill in beautiful Bloomington, Indiana.

The event will also feature cask ales and local food and merchandise vendors.

Ticket proceeds support the not-for-profit Brewers of Indiana Guild (Drink Indiana) and our mission to support, educate, promote and legislate on behalf of Hoosier Breweries.

The Brewers of Indiana Guild, our member Breweries and Producer Partners believe in building community one pint, or tasting glass, at a time. We routinely partner with our local community to give back and to support other not-for-profit and volunteer organizations. Even small actions may have a big impact! $1 from every Bloomington Craft Beer Festival ticket sold is donated to our local charity partner, Lotus Education & Arts Foundation.

Grab your friends, buy your tickets and taste Indiana Craft with us!
