From a press release:
“On October 10th, 2026, from 12pm to 6pm, Snallygaster is back for its 14th year as a rollicking tribute to the wonderful world of craft beer. With a mind-boggling selection of 450 highly sought-after brews from 175 of the finest American and international producers, along with a wide array of local food vendors and two stages of live music, Snallygaster is the biggest beer festival on the East Coast. As impressive as the offering is the setting: for one day only, Snallygaster will descend on the heart of Downtown Washington, D.C. to take over four city blocks between 3rd and 7th Streets on Pennsylvania Avenue.
“With the Capitol building as the backdrop, Snallygaster will once again offer an unforgettable beer drinking experience,” says Greg Engert, Beverage Director & Partner for Neighborhood Restaurant Group. Adding, “this year’s list is proving to be the most impressive yet, with countless new breweries and rare beers on hand for the occasion. Even better, we’re expecting a huge number of the brewers themselves to join us, including many traveling from overseas, and they’re all excited to pour their offerings for our guests.”
Engert and his team curate each and every selection, bringing the same approach they apply daily to their lists at Churchkey, Shelter, Owen’s Tavern & Garden, Rustico, The Sovereign, and more. Attendees can expect an unbelievable array of small batch, highly sought-after brews on draft as well as draft beers, vintage bottle pours and gravity-kegs from the likes of Cantillon, Monkish, Fidens, Horus, Burial, Ill Will, Bottle Logic, and so many more.
Here’s this year’s brewer list so far. We’re adding more daily until we get up to 175!
