Guest Producers Announced for Unique,Outdoor Beverage Festival that Includes Brunch, Bonfire and Fireworks
Lake George, NY (March 4, 2026) — Exclusive barrel-aged beverages from the best craft producers in New York are rolling into Lake George for Adirondack Pub & Brewery’s 14th Annual Barrel Fest on Saturday, March 14, 2025, from 2-5 p.m. Barrel Fest is more than your average beer festival. This outdoor bash the Saturday before St. Patrick’s Day knows no walls and takes place in the beauty of the Adirondacks near the shores of Lake George at Adirondack Pub & Brewery, 33 Canada Street, Lake George.
The event features rare beer, cider, wine, mead and more, all aged in barrels and many crafted specifically for this event, meaning this is an exclusive opportunity to taste these beverages. Barrel Fest offers a lively atmosphere with live entertainment by Tops of Trees, a HUGE bonfire with 1,000 pallets, fireworks, a ‘burning man’ statue, free snacks, and more! This event will not be canceled due to the weather, promising a memorable experience in snow, rain, shine, or mud!
“We started Barrel Fest as a way to showcase our most limited, small-batch barrel-aged creations. It quickly became something bigger. New York brewers are producing world-class barrel-aged beverages, and so many of them are right here in our backyard. Barrel Fest has turned into a true gathering place — like a pilgrimage — for people who love the depth, complexity and craftsmanship of barrel aging. If you’re serious about barrel-aged beer and spirits, this is the one event you don’t want to miss,” said Adirondack Pub & Brewery Owner John Carr.
