Tupper Lake knows how to celebrate winter, and BrewSki proves it year after year.

The 11th Annual Tupper Lake BrewSki returns on Saturday, February 28, 2026, turning the James C. Frenette Sr. Recreational Trails into a 1.5-mile-long moving brewfest that blends outdoor adventure, local flavor, and Adirondack community spirit.

A winter brewfest like no other.

From 12 pm to 4 pm, participants clip into cross-country skis or strap on snowshoes and follow beautifully groomed trails through the heart of Tupper Lake’s winter landscape.

Along the route, local and regional breweries host tasting stations, offering samples of craft beer while fire pits provide the perfect excuse to linger, warm up, and swap trail stories.

For more than a decade, BrewSki has attracted outdoor enthusiasts, craft beer fans, and curious first-timers looking for a uniquely Adirondack way to spend a winter Saturday.

The pace stays relaxed, the atmosphere stays friendly, and the focus remains on fun, fresh air, and supporting small breweries from across New York State.

New in 2026: Safe rides for BrewSki.

New this year, BrewSki offers safe rides through a partnership with the Tupper Lake Recreation Department and School District Transportation.

The BrewSki shuttle provides worry-free transportation to and from the event, allowing everyone to focus on enjoying the trails and tastings responsibly. Reservations are required, and spots are expected to fill quickly.
