Presented by Gathering Place Brewing, Lager & Friends has two goals: First, to celebrate lager beer and showcase the wide range of styles and interpretations that are lagers. Moreover, we want to highlight the brewing skills and techniques required to make well crafted lagers. 

Secondly, the festival is a way to bring together friends and like minded lager brewers. The festival has welcomed exceptional lager brewers from across the country over the years.
