Tom and Dan’s 12th Annual Bad at Business Beerfest 2026

Sanford gives your group an afternoon of beer and music without an admission charge on November 21. Tom and Dan’s twelfth annual Bad at Business Beerfest starts distributing sample cups at noon, while DJ Sharpe plays until 2 p.m. Local bands take over the stage at 2, when free samples from dozens of breweries begin. Food is available inside West End and Celery City, and vendors add more to explore between pours. The daytime festival runs until 5 p.m. at West End Trading Co. Come prepared for limited cup supplies, bring identification for sampling and arrange your ride before drinking. The later after-party is a separate outing; this listing covers the daytime festival.
