Who
we are

Barks & Brews isn’t your average beer festival — it’s a tail-wagging celebration set in the heart of Stoudtburg Village, a German-inspired community tucked away in Reinholds, PA.

Created from a love of great craft beer, local community, and four-legged friends, Barks & Brews was designed to bring people together for a laid-back afternoon where pups and people can socialize, explore vendors, support animal rescues, and enjoy the best flavors our local breweries and food trucks have to offer.

What started as a fun idea quickly became a can’t-miss event — a place where dog lovers connect, local businesses shine, and every ticket helps spotlight rescue organizations doing incredible work for animals in need.

Now growing into a beloved annual tradition, Barks & Brews blends craft beverages, live music, artisan vendors, adoptable dogs, and an atmosphere that feels more like a community celebration than a festival.

Whether you’re coming for the brews, the barks, or just the good vibes, there’s a spot here for you.

Cheers to community. Cheers to canines. Cheers to Barks & Brews. 🐾🍻
