The 11th Annual Toledo Beer & Bacon Fest will return Saturday, June 14, from 3 – 7 p.m. at The Hungarian Club of Toledo, 224 Paine Ave., in East Toledo’s historic Birmingham Neighborhood.

Over a dozen local breweries — including earnest brew works, Findlay Brewing, and Maumee Bay Brewing — will pour customer-favorites and new releases. First-time participants include Ottawa Brewing, Bait House Brewing (Sandusky), and Arlyn’s Good Beer (Bowling Green). Brewing Green will also be participating.

Hosted by the Hungarian Club of Toledo and the Glass City Mashers, this summer festival will showcase more than 40 locally made beers, ciders, and hard seltzers alongside a lineup of Hungarian-inspired bacon dishes, live music, and lawn games.

“We’re proud to bring people together for a fun and flavorful afternoon in the heart of Toledo’s Birmingham Neighborhood,” said Peter Ujvagi of the Hungarian Club. “There’s nothing quite like beer, bacon, and live music to start Father’s Day weekend right.”

Festivalgoers can sample beer and bacon pairings like: bacon on a stick, hunky turkey sandwiches, Birmingham hot dogs, bacon popcorn, and more festival-exclusive dishes.

There will be live music from Toledo’s Hey Rock on the main stage, in addition to lawn games and a festival atmosphere throughout the grounds.

Tickets for general admission include 10 beer samples and event entry for $40 (21+ only). “Designated Driver” tickets (non-alcoholic) include food sample tickets for $15. Additional beer and food tickets will be available for purchase online.
