The 11th annual The Dude’s Homebrew Festival presented by Resurgence Brewing Co is coming to Resurgence on Augsut 9th, 2026! In this unique fundraiser, homebrewers donate their beers while cancer-haters donate their money and tastebuds, with all proceeds benefiting Blood Cancer United!
Here’s what’s happening:
- Taste dozens of delicious, fresh, local homebrews. (Special thanks to the Niagara Association of Homebrewers and Sultans of Swig for their contributions!)
- For a $30 donation to The Dude Hates Cancer, you can serve as a guest judge at the event, meaning you can sample all of the homebrews and cast votes for the “Peoples’ Choice” best beer.
- Certified beer judges will also judge the beers in the competition.
- The brewer of the winning beer, as decided by a combined score of public voting and judges ratings, will get to brew a barrel of their beer at Resurgence Brewing Co!
- All proceeds from the event go to Blood Cancer United and their mission to cure cancer.
