Celebrate 40 Years of Craft Beer in Guelph
Wellington Brewery is raising a glass to celebrate four decades of craft brewing in Guelph with FORTY, a two-day anniversary festival happening September 5-6, 2025 at the brewery.
The anniversary celebration will feature a full weekend of craft beer, live music, food trucks, games, and the return of the fan-favourite Beer Olympics. With plenty of surprises in store, the event will honour Wellington’s roots while kicking off an exciting new decade.
FORTY is open to the public and features three unique, ticketed sessions:
● Friday, September 5 (6pm–11pm): ’80s Birthday Bash
● Saturday, September 6 (12pm–5pm): Craft Beer Carnivale
● Saturday, September 6 (6pm–11pm): Boots & Brews Country Night
Each session will feature a wide range of award-winning craft beers, special collaborations, guest taps, and traditional cask ales. Food options include some of the region’s top food trucks, a fresh oyster bar, and local vendors. Festival-goers can also take part in brewery tours and compete in classic Beer Olympics events like stein holding, keg rolling, and boot tossing.
Live music highlights include retro cover band Born in the Eighties, high-energy Latin group Conexión Latina, rising country star Chris Clark, dance-friendly country act Fellow Camper, and more to be announced.
