Eagle River has Up North Beerfest back for 2026! It happens with Premier Beer Night Friday, June 12th and the main event Saturday, June 13th. It all happens at Hi-Pines Campground.
Walk the red carpet – literally – for Premier Beer Night from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday evening. This insider event allows participants to sample beers from 16 breweries which WON’T be available during the Saturday main event. Sip suds and enjoy tasty hors d’oeuvres. Premier Beer Night tickets are available for $85.
The main event—Up North BeerFest—goes from 2 to 6 p.m. Saturday and includes up to 30 breweries from Wisconsin and the Midwest. Festivalgoers will be given a sampling glass for their 2 to 3-ounce pours, a beer guide to find breweries at the festival, and live music. Food is available for purchase from the Eagle River Veterans Resource Center.
New in 2026! People’s Choice Best Brew award to be given to the brewer with the most votes from event attendees.
Many of the breweries will be recognizable, from Eagle River’s very own Tribute Brewing Co. and Riverstone Brewing Company to O’SO Brewing Company. But there are other opportunities to try beers from lesser-known brewers like Haen’s Popple River Brewing and Karben4 Brewing.
Be sure to make a transportation plan before coming to the event on Saturday. Designated drivers are free to attend if accompanying a paid admission for the Saturday event. While parking is available on the grounds, many of our overnight lodging partners are providing free shuttle transportation to and from Hi-Pines Campground before, during, and after the events. No children, pets, or carry-ins are allowed to the event. Smoking is not allowed under the tented sampling areas.
There are three ways to purchase tickets: Online, via mail, or at these Eagle River locations:
Trig’s Cellar 70 (Liquor Department)
