From easy drinking ales to strong stouts, crisp ciders to tangy sours, Alefort will quench your thirst & treat your tastebuds at Treefort 11.
Alefort returns to fill your stainless cup to the brim with loads of local & regional brews, specialty cocktails, curated ciders and hand-picked wines that pair remarkably well with tunes, trees & sunshine.
Indulge yourself in craft drinks and food fare, surrounded by art with the return of Alefort fan favorites including beer, wine, cider and cocktail tastings within Alefort Pub and Lounge at Julia Davis Park, as well as the newly decked out Greyhound Station at 12th and Bannock.
As always, Alefort and its events are open to the public (no festival pass required) and all ages are welcome. However, you must have valid ID and a 21+ wristband to drink alcohol. Drinks are purchased with tokens.
If you fancy yourself a fantastic Alefort experience, snag a Buzz Pass. The Buzz Pass is like a ZIPLINE for Alefort. Includes 8 tokens, a super cool MIIR tasting mug, power to skip the line at either Alefort location, and access to exclusive beer tastings. Buzz Pass is $120 — only 200 available.
Treefort Music Fest aims to be a waste-free fest. Please bring your own 8 oz Alefort cup and/or your Treefort 16 oz stainless steel cup (note: 16 oz pours will be double the price because it’s double the size). Both 8oz and 16oz stainless steel cups will be available for purchase on-site.
ALEFORT PUB + LOUNGE | Julia Davis Park
Alefort Pub features 65+ beers and 12 hard ciders from local and regional breweries and cideries. Beers are organized by style, so you can make a beeline for your faves or venture out and taste something new.
