The festival allows patrons to sample beers, lagers and ales from around the globe [4] brought in by different vendors, microbreweries, and pubs from around the world, with a focus on Alberta and Canada. [5] [6]

The first events sold out. [7] in 2006 sold out and over 700 patrons were turned away at the door. As a result, the organizers relocated the festival to a 40,000 sq foot hall within the Shaw Conference Centre. Since March 2007, the event has been held annually at the Shaw Conference Centre in downtown Edmonton.

The event has won the City of Edmonton's local magazine Vue Weekly's Golden Fork Awards for best Beverage Festival in both 2014 [8] and 2015. [9] Beerfest then received runner up in the same category in 2016, [10] 2017, [11] and 2018. [12] [13] Canadian Choice award winner 2024.
