AUBURN-OPELIKA, Ala. - Brewzle Fest 2026 will bring whiskey enthusiasts from across the country to Opelika on Saturday, Aug. 29, for an evening of craft whiskey pours, educational panels, and festival experiences featuring more than 35 distilleries and vendors.

Presented by Sprayberry Bottle Shop, the annual festival is already seeing stronger early demand than last year, with ticket sales outpacing the previous event months ahead of the festival.

“This next era of whiskey in the United States is going to be remembered as the resurgence of great regional producers,” said TJ Gamble, also known as Brewzle. “Numerous craft distilleries are starting to gain national prominence, and this is only the beginning. We've built this festival to introduce emerging producers to an enthusiast fan base and help those brands grow excitement around their whiskey.”

A major focus of Brewzle Fest is creating a platform for smaller and independent whiskey brands to connect directly with consumers in a space where their stories, products, and craftsmanship can take center stage. While larger brands often dominate attention in the whiskey industry, the festival is designed to spotlight emerging distilleries and give attendees the opportunity to discover producers they may not encounter elsewhere.

Confirmed distilleries and vendors include Oak Bowery Distillery, Larrikin Bourbon Co., Dark Arts Whiskey House, Broad Branch Distillery, Driftless Glen Distillery, Frey Ranch, Still Austin Whiskey Co., and more.

In addition to whiskey pours, attendees will have the opportunity to take part in educational panels featuring whiskey experts and industry insiders. Planned sessions will cover topics such as the current state of craft whiskey, bourbon industry innovations, and a special Brewzle Live event designed to offer guests a more interactive festival experience.

Tickets and additional event information can be found here.
