Alefort 2025 returns to Julia Davis Park, featuring a feast of brews from over 50 local, regional, and even international breweries! Whether you’re a craft beer snob (it’s ok, just admit it), a hop head, a stout die-hard, or prefer a light option so you can go all night, we’ve got a little something for everyone!
Ale is in the name, but Alefort is about soooo much more than beer. We have a wide assortment of wine and ciders from Idaho and beyond, plus a dedicated Zero Proof bar to sample new N/A options!
BONUS BAR! New this year, Alefort is offering a Chuggy Bar. What’s that, you ask? Well, pretty much exactly what it sounds like. Light, sessionable pours so you can chug one down (or two??) and be on your way to catch the next show.
And as always, we’ve got Alefort Lounge serving up delicious treats and delicious looks with Pretzel Palace (yup you read that right) and everyone’s fav Sunday morning activity, Drag Brunch.

Beer Bars
Taste your way through crispy lagers, dark stouts, fresh IPAs, and wild and intriguing one-off styles. Delve into back catalogs to find some squirreled-away barrel-aged beauties. With five different bars featuring five different styles, you can go on a tasting adventure or make a beeline for your fav beer. Here’s what you can look forward to:
LIGHT & CRISPY
Beer flavored beer is back! On the lighter and easier to drink side, there will be an assortment of crushable beers from near and far. The glow from a light beer almost emanates its own sunshiney-glow: and from American adjuncts to European classics, you can find the perfect sunbeam to bask in.
DARK & MALTY
For those looking for a bit more richness and roast in their beer diet, we will be showcasing beers where malt is the prominent feature. With Porters, Stouts, Dunkles, and more: if you are looking for a full bodied beer with a touch more sweetness, this is the bar for you.
HOPPY
One of the most varied styles out there, IPAs are so much more than a style meant to destroy your palette with bitterness. Of course there is always a place for that kind of IPA, but with many new hop variants being developed every year, new flavor profiles can make your hop-forward beer smell like a basket of tropical fruit, or freshly squeezed OJ. With loads of taps ranging from brighter and drier West Coast styles to juicy and smooth New England Hazy styles, there is bound to be something new for the most dedicated hop-head to discover.
TART & FUNKY
Sometimes only a sour will do. The brightness of an already tart fruit paired with beer, then lovingly mixed and mingled together is a thing of beauty. Or adding so much fruit that there is more fruit than beer, resulting in a beer of near smoothie quality. But on the other side is the funk. From harnessing the products of societies of bacteria and yeast, complex flavors can arise from a beer to add flavor that can only come from wild fermentation. Funky and sour beers can be one of the hardest beers to make (when done on purpose) and we will have different examples of old and new world interpretations of these styles.
BARREL AGED
At the extremely big end of beers, we will be featuring multiple beers that have spent time gaining complexity from Wine and Spirit barrels. Left to their own devices and lovingly taken care of for years at a time, malt heavy beers like Russian Imperial Stouts and Barleywines can take on characters of the barrels they are aged in, while also developing their own flavors through the extra time of conditioning. Big, complex, and warming, these beers will be big, bold, and decadent.
CHUGGY BAR
Chuggy chuggy CHOO CHOO! Roll on up to the Chuggy bar for light, delish, sessionable ales to pound ‘n’ go. Or to slowly savor, up to you. But, we all know the spirit of the Chuggy Bar. It’s basically a keg stand for Treefort adults.
