The festival allows patrons to sample beers, lagers and ales from around the globe[5] brought in by different vendors, microbreweries, and pubs from around the world, with a focus on Alberta and Canada.[6][7]

The first events sold out.[8] 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[9] and 2015.[10] Beerfest then received runner up in the same category in 2016,[11] 2017,[12] and 2018.[13] [14]
