We're pumped to officially announce that GNOlympics 2026 is going down right here at Gnosis Brewing, co-hosted with our friends at @crafted1979.
GNOlympics 2026 Saturday, August 22nd, 2PM Start Time at Gnosis Brewing
We've teamed up with 6 incredible breweries to bring together drinking games, sport-themed battles, music, food, collab beers, and a full-on beer Olympics-style competition. @oldirvingbrewing @brothership_brewing @riverlandsbrewingcompany @hopbutcher @phasethreebrew @seedzbrewery
Here's how it will work...
- 8 teams
- 5 competitors per team
- A series of games will determine the top 4 teams, who will advance to the next round.
- From there, the top 2 teams will battle it out in a final relay-style showdown to crown the official GNOlympics champion of 2026
And of course, we had to make some beer for it. We'll be releasing four different collabs made in unison with the competing teams, including one massive 8-way collaboration beer featuring all 8 teams. Details on each beer will be announced closer to the event. Even better, each team will be competing for a charity of their choice, with a portion of proceeds being donated to the winning team's charity.
We'll have @bluecollarbrosbbq and @thegoldendomepizzacompany serving up food, plus music spinning from Tony Qualls.
Great beer. Friendly competition. Local breweries. Live music. Food. Charity. What else could you ask for? This event is free to the public and everyone is welcome. Come hang out, cheer on your favorite team, and help us make GNOlympics 2026 one for the books.
Cheers.
