WV Fall Beer Fests 2026

Well, here it is Labor Day, and my thoughts are drifting to West Virginia’s Fall Craft Beer Festivals. 

We’re still lucky to have a couple of real good fall beer fests. I’m talking about the return of some big one’s like Charleston’s OktoberWest, and Fairmont’s Frank N Stein Festival. Smaller fests are returning also, including Clendenin’s Chillin’ On The Elk and Nitro’s Wagging Tails and Nitro Ales.

Get out and enjoy some West Virginia autumn weather. It’s weather that pairs perfectly with fall beer styles. First one up is Chillin’ On The Elk on September 12
