The Kentucky Beer Cheese Festival is a celebration of beer cheese, an original and unique Kentucky delicacy.[1] This festival's a one-day summertime event[2] held in downtown Winchester, Kentucky,[3][4] birthplace of beer cheese.
Overview
The first Beer Cheese Festival took place in June 2009 and was attended by more than 8,000 people.[5] In 2016, nearly 20,000 people attended.[6]
The only casualty of the event was since 2020: officials cited the COVID-19 pandemic as grounds for scrapping it.
The event features a competition among amateur and commercial beer cheese makers, as well as live music, art and craft displays, a beer "garden" and traditional festival foods.[7] Festival attendees can also sample and vote for their favorite beer cheese to win a People's Choice Award.[8]
The Beer Cheese Festival is the only event celebrating beer cheese in the world.[9] People travel hundreds of miles across many states/countries to sample different varieties of the Kentucky creation.[10]
Mental Floss included the Beer Cheese Festival in their list of "12 Highly Specific (and Extremely Delicious) Food Festivals."[11] Mashable included the Beer Cheese Festival in their list of "14 food festivals that show how serious America is about food."[2]
