Beer festivals are my absolute favorite way to spend a carefree afternoon. The abundance of beer to sample, the lively entertainment, and the chance to meet and mingle with other beer- loving folk make a beer festival the best means to experience my favorite things all in one place. What makes them even better is the fact that a large percentage of beer festivals give back to the community. And a beer festival that takes ‘giving back’ to an extreme level is the Wild West Brew Fest, held each year in the west Houston suburb of Katy.
When and Where is the Festival?
Wild West Brew Fest was originally held in the late spring/early summer. In an effort to avoid the excessively high temperatures common to Houston that time of year, the decision was made to move the event to the fall. It is now held in November, with two additional events held the days prior. For 2022, the dates are:
- K-Town Throw Down: Thursday, Nov 3 from 6pm to 9pm
- Launch Party: Friday, Nov 4 from 7pm to 10pm
- Wild West Brewfest: Saturday, Nov 5 from 3pm to 9pm
This year’s Wild West Brew Fest will be held at Typhoon Texas Waterpark, which is right next door to the previous location, Katy Mills Mall.
What Sets This Fest Apart?
Wild West Brew Fest is a great way to sample beer. Guest can walk the rows and select from several hundred beers. Some are local, some are from other breweries in Texas, and still others are from across the country. Live entertainment is provided all afternoon and evening, with live bands on multiple stages.
Beer and entertainment are common to any beer festival, but there is something that easily sets the Wild West Brew Fest apart and that is its staunch, no exceptions commitment to the community. You see, Wild West Brew Fest donates ALL its proceeds to local charities and non- profits. NO ONE makes any money from the fest. There are no management fees, no loopholes, and no exceptions. You can be assured that the price of your ticket is going to go toward any number of important community causes.

Alcohol and altruism. Now that’s a combo! I’d love to take part in this fest.
That’s actually cool that you got to try from other countries as well. This is interesting and can try beers maybe get a new favorite one from doing this.
Oh wow….I had never heard of such a beer festival. It must be an interesting one. Thank you for sharing about it.
Been back to traveling for some time now but I haven’t gotten the chance to experience the beer festival. I think next time I will check on it so I can see for myself and experience it.
What a fun brew fest! Would love to go!
Never been to a beer festival. I am not sure if they have any here in NYC. But the Food Explora in me will definitely entertain the idea of going to one.
I love a good beer fest and this one sounds great!
Never been to a beer festival before but you make it sound pretty cool! I love the fact that proceeds go to charity too! If I’m ever in Texas I’ll be sure to come.
Wild West Beer festival! That’s a first I’ve heard of it. Plus the live entertainment and bands makes it a plan
Beer festivals are growing and it is always a fun festival even for those who don’t drink beer. It is a celebration of the culture, community, and also craftsmanship of brewing!
This sounds like a fun event. I am not a beer drinker but I would definitely enjoy these kinds of festivals.
