It’s a community celebration of clean water, craft beer, and sustainable living in the hundred valleys of the Umpqua. In other words, “It’s All About the Water!”
So, is the Umpqua Brew Fest Roseburg’s version of Octoberfest?
No, it’s a tasting event, not a drinking one. We promote quality, not quantity by encouraging craft beer appreciation, not alcohol consumption. ”Drink less, drink the best.”

What happens when you blow a keg?
