Ready to toast in the mountains? On August 23, the charming town of Julian, known for its apples and breathtaking views, will transform into the ultimate craft beer destination with its inaugural BrewFest. The event will take place from noon to 4 p.m. at Nickel Beer Company, located at 1485 Hollow Glen Road.

With your $25 ticket, you’ll receive a commemorative glass, eight craft beer tastings, and a non-alcoholic drink to refresh between rounds. Live music from the Sun Valley String Band will provide the perfect soundtrack as you sip, laugh, and enjoy the spectacular mountain scenery only Julian can offer.

But that’s not all. Canned beers and merchandise will be available for purchase, along with delicious food served on site.

The lineup of producers includes local favorites like Burning Beard, Calico Cidery, Julian Beer Co., Nickel Beer Company, San Diego Brewing, Smoking Cannon, Storum Ranch, Raging Cider, and Walnut Tree Ranch.

And while you’re in Julian…

You won’t want to miss trying one of the town’s famous apple pies. Local bakeries will be serving fresh, warm pies that make the perfect sweet and crunchy treat to complement your tasting experience.

If you love craft beer, fresh mountain air, and a great Saturday plan, Julian will welcome you with open arms — and full barrels.
