The 2025 San Antonio Beer Festival celebrated its 20th anniversary and its triumphant return to Civic Park at Hemisfair on Saturday, drawing craft-brewing enthusiasts from across South Texas.
For the milestone, this year’s event leaned into an Oktoberfest theme with plenty of German-style beers and bites along with the Qualifying Texas Steinholding State Championship Tournament.
Participants sampled hundreds of premium, craft and near beers from breweries around the world while enjoying local music, food trucks, vendors and the camaraderie of fellow beer fanatics.
As with past iterations of the Beer Festival, a portion of the proceeds benefit the San Antonio Food Bank.
