This website is dedicated to spreading the word about a small, homebrew-only cask event held regularly in the Boston area, usually at the end of April / beginning of May (although not yet on an actual May Day). Check out our past events.

There will be no May Day Cask Festival in 2020. Better luck next year!

We remain completely unaffiliated with (but unabashedly inspired by) the folks who put together the NERAX festival. If you like what they do, you will probably like what we’re going for.
