Lakefront Brewery's new patio and outdoor space is immersed in nature and the ideal locale for the Fall Fest of Ale. The 4th annual event takes place on Sunday, Oct 6 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Lakefront Brewery's Fall Fest features more than 30 local vendors, six food trucks – including Lakefront’s CurdWagon with a gluten-free, fall-themed menu – along with caramel apples, apple cider beignets, pumpkin beer bread pudding, walking cake sundaes and specialty Thanksgiving dinner-themed cheese curds from the new cheese curd station.

Beverages include three fall-themed, cask-conditioned Lakefront brews, Bloody Marys, specialty coffee, hot apple cider and Golden Maple Root Beer. An exclusive Fall Fest of Ale souvenir tasting glass will be available to purchase and fill with $2 samples.

Plus, Pete McDermott of Ladybird will provide the sounds, guests can enter a 50/50 raffle benefiting Riverwest Elementary’s new playground renovation, kids (and pets) can create a hand (or paw) print, and a Lakefront Brewery "clearance sale" will be underway.

The festival is also a nonperishable food drive organized by Barley’s Angels that benefits the Riverwest Food Pantry. Food items are welcome, but not required for attendance.
