QC Craft Beer Week

The Quad Cities will raise a glass to the region’s thriving craft beer scene during QC Craft Beer Week, returning May 23–30, 2025. Timed to coincide with Memorial Day weekend and the start of summer travel season, this weeklong celebration showcases local breweries, new collaborations and the continued evolution of the QC Ale Trail.

Throughout the week, breweries are encouraged to host special events, beer releases and promotions. Visit Quad Cities will also share giveaways, feature brewery spotlights and post real-time updates on @VisitQuadCities social media.

Don’t forget to participate in the QC Ale Trail! Established in 2019 through a partnership between Visit Quad Cities and regional craft breweries, the QC Ale Trail is an immersive self-guided tour spanning both sides of the Mississippi River that showcases the vibrant craft brewery scene. Participants can check in at participating breweries with a QC Ale Trail passport to receive free prizes from Visit Quad Cities while enjoying local brews and meeting fellow craft beer fans.
