The festival allows patrons to sample beers, lagers and ales from around the globe[4] brought in by different vendors, microbreweries, and pubs from around the world, with a focus on Alberta and Canada.[5][6]

The first events sold out.[7] Since then, the event has won the City of Edmonton's local magazine Vue Weekly's Golden Fork Awards for best Beverage Festival in both 2014[8] and 2015.[9] Beerfest then received runner up in the same category in 2016,[10] 2017,[11] and 2018.[12][13]

Each year approximately 25,000 people attend the event over its two-day span.[14][15]
