When you hear the word "fermentation," your mind might jump right to beer, but that's far from the only thing that requires fermentation. In fact, it's just one of many foods and drinks that include fermentation as a critical step in production. At the Austin Fermentation Festival, you'll get the chance to learn about many of them.
The main focus of the event is the workshops, which show you exactly how 12 different types of fermented foods and drinks are made. Some of them allow you to actually get some hands-on experience, so you can recreate the eats and sips when you go home. If you're more interested in tasting them than creating the foods and beverages, head to the market selling almost strictly fermented foods as well as the tasting stations manned by local chefs. Wine and beer will be served, and live music is also on the itinerary.
