MOLINE, ILLINOIS (May 28, 2024) — Mile Zero Inc, an event production agency, is proud to introduce The Beer Fest, a new summer festival coming to Downtown Bettendorf. Celebrating craft beer from the Quad Cities and throughout the Midwest, The Beer Fest will be held at “The Warehouse” at Isle Parkway and promises a day filled with fun, food, and music — all while supporting St Jude Children's Research Hospital.

The Beer Fest is set for June 15, 2024, 1-5PM, with gates opening early at noon for VIP ticket-holders. This event guarantees an unforgettable kick-off to summer with unlimited beverage samples from local and regional craft breweries, ciders, seltzers, spirits, and wine brands.

Highlights of The Beer Fest include: 

  • Local and Regional Craft Beer: Sample an extensive selection of beverages from local breweries such as Crawford Brew Works, Great Revivalist Brewery and Front Street Brewery. Notable regional breweries include Confluence Brewing Company (Des Moines, Iowa), The Busted Cup (Burlington, Iowa), Jefferson County Ciderworks (Fairfield, Iowa) and 3 Floyds Brewing (Munster, Indiana).
  • Food Trucks: Enjoy delicious food from local food trucks (La Flama, Hot Dog Guy, Grafoodi, and more) offering everything from tacos to burgers and cheese curds.
  • Live Music and Broadcasts: Jam all day with a live broadcast from 97X radio station, featuring music from radio host Hairball.
  • Unique Experiences: Dive into the fun with a retro arcade, The Great Escape Patio lounge, and wings from Hooters of Davenport.
  • Scenic Venue: “The Warehouse” at Isle Parkway offers an industrial, roof-covered venue with stunning views of The Mississippi River and the I-74 Bridge.

The Beer Fest is more than just a celebration of local brews — it’s also an opportunity to support a great cause. Proceeds from the festival will benefit St Jude Children’s Research Hospital, which will have a presence on-site throughout the day.
