From the moment I arrived, it was clear this wasn’t just a beer festival. It was a full-blown celebration. Think: 30+ breweries sharing their most unique brews, back-to-back sets from incredibly talented musicians, and an entire corner of Astoria buzzing with life.

But what made it especially meaningful was seeing how many people, businesses, and volunteers came together to make it all happen. This festival doesn’t work without heart—and you could feel it in every corner, from the beer tents to the dance floor.

Shoutout to the Fort George crew, the amazing volunteers, and everyone who showed up to pour, perform, and party. The entire day was a blast to document, and I already can’t wait to do it all over again.

Save the date: Lupulin Ecstasy Festival 2026 is happening Saturday, June 13th. If this year was any indication, next year’s going to be bigger, better, and even more beer-soaked (in the best way possible).
