Wild Acres Beer Festival

Beer nerds, clear your calendars: Wild Acres returns to Drowned Lands Brewery in Warwick on August 15 for its fifth annual celebration of boundary-pushing craft brewing. More than 40 breweries and 80-plus brewers from around the country will gather across the brewery’s property, pouring unlimited tastings alongside limited releases rarely available elsewhere.

The roster includes Hudson Valley favorites and acclaimed out-of-region producers, giving attendees the chance to compare styles, discover new obsessions, and talk with the people who made what’s in the glass. The afternoon also features live music from Ryan Marks, artisan vendors, and food from the Drowned Lands kitchen. Oyster Party will be shucking oysters and serving lobster rolls.

The setting supplies much of the appeal: 700 acres of rolling Warwick farmland, with Wawayanda Creek tracing the tree line and the Appalachian Mountains in the distance. Wild Acres is a 21-and-over event and takes place rain or shine.
