Did someone say Obey The Hopken? It's year 8 of our beloved Craftathon beer festival & we're inviting you to #drinkgoodbeer on May 18th, 2025 at the Fort Walton Beach Landing Park!
Last year we raised our glasses with a crowd of over 1000 beer enthusiasts by sipping, sampling, and strolling through the park, while enjoying suds from participating breweries and snacks provided by local eateries. When it was all said and done, we were able to raise $11,764 at Craftathon 2024 for the Eleanor J Johnson Youth Center! This year, we will be donating 100% of the proceeds to Fresh Start Florida. Read more about this local organization and the work they do in our community here.
Those who have attended in previous years know that we do this event a little different. Craftathon isn't your typical boring pour list, watered down beer festival. Each year we work to invite some of the best (and most sought after) breweries in the country to provide the highest quality experience. The breweries in attendance are given two tasks: bring a little something special for the participants & send a knowledgable representative to pour beers. You will definitely have a beer at this festival that you've never had before. We also want you guys and gals to be able to talk with folks that care just as much about craft beer as you do so each brewery has a representative from their brewery present.
In addition to crowd-pleasing suds from the pros, The Craftathon will also have all of the best home brewers sampling on site, hand selected food from our local area, beer educational features, and much more. If you're looking for a list of attending breweries please follow along via our facebook event page HERE. As we typically won't post a full list of breweries until the week of the event due to the nature of creating an exclusive line-up.
Join us on May 18th, 2025 for our 8th Craftathon! Obey the Hopken, drink good beer!
