Welcome to Hops & Heroes: Alamo Edition!

Presented by Nevermore Events Co., Hops & Heroes: Alamo Edition is a two-day celebration that brings together craft beer, championship BBQ, live entertainment, local vendors, and community spirit—all in support of our nation's veterans.

Join us November 6–7, 2026, at Alamo Beer Company in San Antonio as the Ranch Trash Smoke Showdown IBCA BBQ Cook-Off kicks off Friday evening with First Pour Friday and the main festival takes place Saturday with Alamo Beer Company tastings, great food, shopping, live music, and family-friendly fun.

Whether you're a craft beer enthusiast, BBQ lover, or simply looking for a memorable weekend with a purpose, Hops & Heroes offers something for everyone. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Help for Veterans, helping make a positive impact on those who have served our country.

Raise a glass. Honor our heroes. Celebrate community.
