About Roar Off The Shore Brewfest: How The Lions Help Our Communities

The festival features regionally brewed craft beers, and wines, craft-brewed beers from popular small breweries across Wisconsin and Michigan, and locally created food. Proceeds from this event go back into our local, Northeast Wisconsin communities.

Where It Began…
During the time of the event’s inception, microbrewed beers were becoming popular so a fundraiser geared around these types of beers seemed to make sense. Originally held in the fall, the event began as a three-year commitment by the Kewaunee Lions Club. With so many other beer-related events happening in the same time frame, after the third year, the event was moved to March.

The Kewaunee Lions sought the assistance of the Dyckesville Lions, and now the groups run the event together. The clubs can fund numerous projects with the profits from this fundraiser.

Brewfest, previously known as Roar On The Shore, has outgrown a few venues. Originally held at the Heritage Farm south of Kewaunee and then Lakehaven Hall in Kewaunee, Roar Off The Shore is now held in the spacious, heated Exhibition Building at the Kewaunee County Fairgrounds located at 625 3rd St. in Luxemburg, WI.

Guests can experience more than 200 beers, 50 wines, and a variety of free food samples from several area food vendors. Doors open at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 20, 2027 and the festival closes at 6:00 p.m.

After the festival be sure to enjoy the local dining and nightlife at a number of establishments in the Luxemburg, Kewaunee, and Algoma area.
