Cadillac Craft Beer Festival

Cadillac Craft Beer Festival

We hope you will join us for the 2023 Cadillac Craft Beer Festival!

You will find the best in Michigan Beer, mead, cider & spirits along with our small-town tailgate atmosphere overlooking Lake Cadillac from the Cadillac Commons, since 2010.
NEW in 2023, we will be expanding to full use of the city park and upping our capacity by an additional 500 tickets, as we sold out last year in the most successful beer fest yet!

This year also brings a new opportunity to fundraise for a non-profit that works to support the festival scene for our entire community. Funds raised from our event will go to benefit the Cadillac Area Festivals & Events organization!

So grab a ticket and drink up for a good cause!

Online ticket sales start June 12th at Noon on ccbeerfest.com!

With food & retail vendors, yard games, and live music there is something for everyone, so grab some friends and meet us downtown!

Attendees can expect one-of-a-kind mac and cheese samples, craft beers, live music, and fun activities. Each attendee will receive “all-inclusive” style tickets with food samples, beer/cider samples, a souvenir cup, and more. This is an event for all ages.​​

It’s Mojito O’Clock Somewhere!

It’s Mojito O’Clock Somewhere!

It’s no secret that some of our favorite beers and ciders possesses a distinctive cocktail flair. From the Gin & Tonic mimicking Melt My Brain from Short’s Brewing Company, to the tequila barrel aged Erraticus 5, our desire for spirit inspired ferments is only growing!

To quench your thirst this month, we’re introducing the next cider in our Erraticus Series. Erraticus 12 is a Mojito inspired wild cider fermented with lime, wild mint, and Jonagold apples from Altonen Orchards. Light straw in color with a slight haze, Erraticus 12 smells sweet and tangy with notes of citrus and mint. Tart flavors of tangy apple and lime are followed by notes of mint. Erraticus 12 is crisp, refreshing, and has a very dry finish.

It’s Mojito O’Clock somewhere, and that somewhere is in Bellaire! Erraticus 12 bottles are now available at the Short’s Brewing Company pub and Short’s Mart. You can take a bottle of this highball cider on your next adventure for only $11.00, no bottle limit.
