Indiana’s premier summer celebration of craft beer.

Summerest, hosted by the Indiana Brewers Guild, is a leading craft beer festival, drawing 2000 passionate beer lovers, 50+ breweries and other craft producers, and countless stories poured one pint at a time.

As a sponsor, your brand gets front-row access to one of Indiana’s most engaged, loyal, and community-minded audiences – we’re talking about people who care about local business, craftsmanship, and great experiences!

Visibility. Engagement. Impact.

Sponsoring is more than just putting your logo on a banner. It’s a chance to connect directly with the craft beer community, from dedicated fans to brewers, industry professionals, and the media. Here’s what makes it worth raising a glass:

• Direct Exposure: Reach attendees who appreciate local products, quality craftsmanship, and authentic experiences.

• Community Alignment: Support the Indiana Brewers Guild and our mission to promote and protect Indiana’s independent craft breweries.

• On-Site Activation: Bring your brand to life through interactive experiences, branded spaces, or giveaways that attendees will remember long after the last pour.

• Digital & Social Reach: Extend your visibility through our event promotions, email newsletters, and highly engaged social media channels.

• Networking Opportunities: Build relationships with brewery owners, industry partners, and other sponsors in a relaxed, high-energy environment.
