Festival Information
2nd Annual Inland Northwest Homebrewers Festival
June 12–14, 2026 | Farragut State Park, Idaho.
Homebrewers of the Inland Northwest—mark your calendars and fire up your kettles! We’re thrilled to announce the return of the Inland Northwest Homebrewers Festival, a weekend celebration of community, craft, and creativity, hosted by Inland Brewers Unite (IBU) at beautiful Farragut State Park in northern Idaho.
This festival is more than just a beer share—it’s a gathering of passionate brewers from across the Inland Northwest, including eastern Washington, northern Idaho, western Montana, and northeastern Oregon. Whether you’re part of a long-standing club or a newly-formed crew of fermentation fanatics, we invite you to come out, camp under the stars, and represent your local homebrew scene.
We’re especially excited to entice the clubs from Spokane Valley, the Tri-Cities, Coeur d'Alene, and Missoula to attend—and we’d love to see brewers from Yakima, Ellensburg, Walla Walla, Pullman, Moscow, and Sandpoint bring their talents to the campground this year!

What to Expect
Kick off the weekend with a relaxed, hop-centric beer share in the booth area and around the campfire. For this gathering, we're highlighting all things hoppy—bring your IPAs, pale ales, West Coast bangers, hazies, or any hop-forward creations. It’s a great way to break the ice (and maybe melt a few palates).
Saturday is the main event. Each participating club will host a booth—think canopy, table, and a jockey box to pour your best brews. We encourage everyone to decorate according to this year’s theme: Oceania. From Australia and New Zealand to Hawaii and Polynesia and Micronesia, this continent contains many cultures with which to show off your creativity as well as your brewing chops!
Note: Homebrewers who are not official members of any club can still participate! We'll find space for you at one of the booths!
The festival opens with the Club Keg Competition. A tasting glass is included with your ticket. Clubs are encouraged to brew a representative batch of the festival style, and there will be a separate ballot for best Club Keg. The style this year is: NZ Hoppy Lager. Bragging rights and potential prizes are on the line!
Throughout the rest of the day, attendees can visit all the booths and taste and vote on their favorite beer and favorite booth decorations of the festival. Even more bragging rights and potential prizes are on the line, so bring your best!
Saturday dinner is included with your ticket.
IBU is once again working on securing industry sponsorships, raffle prizes, and swag to make this event even more exciting.
