On March 4, 2026, the Adirondack Pub & Brewery announced details for its 14th Annual Barrel Fest, set for Saturday, March 14, 2026, at 33 Canada Street in Lake George, New York. The event showcases small-batch barrel-aged beers, ciders, wines, meads, and spirits from New York producers, held outdoors near Lake George in the Adirondacks.
Adirondack Pub & Brewery owner John Carr stated in a press release, “We started Barrel Fest as a way to showcase our most limited, small-batch barrel-aged creations. It quickly became something bigger. New York brewers are producing world-class barrel-aged beverages, and so many of them are right here in our backyard. Barrel Fest has turned into a true gathering place — like a pilgrimage — for people who love the depth, complexity and craftsmanship of barrel aging. If you’re serious about barrel-aged beer and spirits, this is the one event you don’t want to miss.”
The festival proceeds rain, snow, or shine, centered around a bonfire made from 1,000 pallets. Entertainment includes live music by Tops of Trees, a “burning man” statue, fireworks, and free snacks. Food vendors such as Cousins Main Lobster, Fries Before Guys, and Palatable Pepper Product will be present, along with additional vendors like Cigar Nowhere and Adirondack Axe.
