Brewzle Fest 2026 Has High Ticket Volume Ahead of August Festival

Brewzle Fest 2026 will bring whiskey enthusiasts from across the country to Opelika on Saturday, Aug. 29, for an evening of craft whiskey pours, educational panels and festival experiences featuring more than 35 distilleries and vendors.

Presented by Sprayberry Bottle Shop, the annual festival is already seeing stronger early demand than last year, with ticket sales outpacing the previous event months ahead of the festival.

“Whiskey is going back to its roots with so many great craft producers spread all over the US.,” said TJ Gamble, also known as Brewzle. “I'm excited that we are able to make Opelika, Alabama, the focus of the craft whiskey movement by introducing so many great craft distilleries to whiskey enthusiasts right here in our hometown.”

A major focus of Brewzle Fest is creating a platform for smaller and independent whiskey brands to connect directly with consumers in a space where their stories, products and craftsmanship can take center stage. While larger brands often dominate attention in the whiskey industry, the festival is designed to spotlight emerging distilleries and give attendees the opportunity to discover producers they may not encounter elsewhere.

Confirmed distilleries and vendors include Oak Bowery Distillery, Larrikin Bourbon Co., Dark Arts Whiskey House, Broad Branch Distillery, Driftless Glen Distillery, Frey Ranch, Still Austin Whiskey Co. and more.

In addition to whiskey pours, attendees will have the opportunity to take part in educational panels featuring whiskey experts and industry insiders. Planned sessions will cover topics such as the current state of craft whiskey, bourbon industry trends and a special Brewzle Live event designed to offer guests a more interactive festival experience.
