Join us for Great Number 8 on 8/8.
2026 marks our 8th annual beer festival and will continue the tradition of being the largest beer festival in all of North Florida and South Georgia. With activities on both Friday and Saturday, it makes for the perfect weekend in Tallahassee. The event welcomes more than 3,000 patrons, vendors, volunteers and more into the air-conditioned and weather proof Donald L. Tucker Civic Center. The Festival features 400+ fermentations of all kinds. Every year, the event gives patrons unlimited sampling, access to food and entertainment, and the opportunity to DO GOOD by supporting the United Partners for Human Services.

Event Description
Truly Unlimited Samples
Enjoy UNLIMITED TASTING from 120+ national, regional, local and home brewers with more than 400+ different fermentations to sample.
Ciders, ales, meads, sparkling sodas, seltzers, wine, and more. There will truly be brews of all kinds! You are given a tasting cup upon entry to fill as many times as you like. We have pour buckets with rinse sprayers for cleansing your glass.
If you are a brewer looking to participate, contact Tim with questions at brewers@tlhbeerfest.com
Venue - The Donald L Tucker Civic Center
Why the Tucker Civic Center? Because we like to party rain or shine and there is only one place large enough to accomodate our Festival. Plus, air-conditioning. The trade off is Ticketmaster fees, but we think its worth it. Event space includes both the Exhibit Hall and the Arena floor with VIP in the central meeting room - the entire downstairs!
Beneficiaries
Sampling hundreds of beer is just part of our story. At our heart, we believe in giving back while having fun. This event is a fundraiser benefiting the member organizations of the United Partners for Human Services. The profits from every ticket purchased go straight back to the community. Unlock extra benefits for your favorite nonprofit by using their specific code when adding tickets to your cart. A list of 2026 participating agencies will be released soon!
This is a 21+ ONLY Event
No one under 21 is permitted, including babies in strollers. Get a sitter.
TBF T-SHIRTS, food & FUN
T-Shirts & Other Swag
Grab a custom TBF t-shirt and other branded event swag with on-site sales (located at the bottom of the escalators between the two beer halls) or pre-purchase your shirt so you are guaranteed the size and style you want. Also, if you missed the window for Beer Mile shirts with your registration, snag those online now for a limited time only.
Food
Food is available for purchase on site (think pizza, soft pretzels, popcorn) and some vendors will offer snacks for donation (including festival pretzel necklaces), but the real treat comes with the VIP experience. Multiple local resturants, caterers and chefs serve up the good nosh throughout the event in the VIP Lounge.
Music, Games and Axe Throwing
There will LIVE entertainment throughout the event. From music to axe-throwing, we will have more ways to have fun than just sampling beer.
Vendors
A festival would not be a festival without cool things to buy. Peruse cigars, hats, sunglasses, spices and more in between tables and tables of beer.

2026 TBF Beer Mile
Now a staple at our Festival is the night before Beer Mile. In 2025, 120 runners made a 1/4 mile loop four times, enjoying a 12 oz. beer at the beginning of each loop. It was EPIC. And the winners were invited to the exclusive Brewers Event immediately after.
