ABOUT

The Planning Committee of Michiana Festival of Beers is comprised of a group of organizers who are passionate about the craft beer culture. We see an ongoing opportunity to foster community-building initiatives by embracing local craft beer, food, music, and charities. We also believe that through education, we can make a difference by advocating responsible consumption of adult beverages.

We advocate for craft breweries to preserve and advance the availability of high-quality beer, to honor the creativity of the craft, and to support local businesses. We support their missions; we don’t exploit them!

Our vision is clear: We see the Michiana Festival of Beers as an annual opportunity to share our passion, thereby expanding our ability to assist those in our community who make it their mission to make a local impact.

The Michiana Festival of Beers committee donates the net proceeds to our charities each year. In the festival's 11-year history, we have donated over $100,000 to local charities.

We believe it’s our highest calling to use our passion and energy to assist the people of our community who are making an impact. This year, we selected one very worthy charity because it mirrors our beliefs: Rescue, Release, Repeat is a state and federally licensed, non-profit rehab facility that strives to give wild, domestic, and exotic animals a second chance at life.
