Join the Young Friends of the Garden for the 17th annual Fest-of-Ale presented by Intelica.

Fest-of-Ale celebrates local breweries as they bring their best offerings to the Garden for tastings. Attendees receive a commemorative tasting glass to sample beers from over 20 of the region's best breweries while enjoying live music from Wax Museum and the Garden's fall scenery. Food available for purchase from a variety of vendors.

Event proceeds benefit the Garden's Outdoor Youth Corps education and workforce development program, which connects St. Louis region youth ages 16 to 24 with environmental stewardship projects, community engagement opportunities, and potential environmental careers.

Ticket price includes a commemorative glass, beer sampling, and live music. Food available for purchase.
