NUCLEATE BEER FESTIVAL 2025

We’re bringing together some of the most badass breweries from around the world to pour their best stuff for you, all while raising money for Ozone House, helping displaced youth in our community.

And it’s not just about the beer (though, let’s be real—it’s about the beer). Expect live DJs spinning good vibes all day, killer food trucks serving up the perfect pairings, yard games to keep things fun, and some of the best brews on the planet just waiting to be sampled. 🍕🎶🍺
