Way Out Fest 2026

Pax Verum Brewing presents the 6th Annual Way Out Fest — Saturday, September 19th, 2026.

Beam yourself into the most out-of-this-world beer fest Indiana has to offer. Tucked away in a small-town setting, Way Out Fest brings together an interstellar lineup of craft beer, spirits, ciders, and far-out eats — all set against a backdrop of alien abductions and other unexplained phenomena.

Whether you’re here for the brews, the vibes, or the possibility of being probed by flavor, it’s an event unlike anything on this planet. Featuring UNLIMITED SAMPLES from over 30+ breweries, wineries & distilleries from all around the country.

New for 2026: Stay the night.
We’ve added Way Out Stay Packages from our good friends at Mystic Waters Campground — cabins + primitive camping with shuttle service to and from the fest.

Limited availability. Camping packages only available through the end of June. Lock in your tickets now
