The largest beer festival in the U.S. will not take place in-person in 2020 due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
For the first time in the festival's nearly 40-year history, the Brewers Association (BA) has canceled the 2020 edition of Great American Beer Festival, which was slated to take place September 24-26, and will instead move the event "to an immersive online experience" from October 16-17.
