Taste History
Missing Linck Yeast was discovered clinging to life in a pre-prohibition fermenting vat, found in the lost lagering cellars of the 19th Century Linck Brewery. It should have been dead. Instead, it was rescued, cultivated, propagated, and unleashed on the 21st Century. Now, the bravest of brewers are each reintroducing the Missing Linck to the modern world with their own inspiration. Styles are broad, the freak is on, and the Missing Linck reawakens in every pour.
​
Missing Linck brews from all participating breweries will be on tap at Urban Artifact Brewing Co. (1660 Blue Rock) and the Missing Linck Festival Grounds from noon until we run out or the cops show up. Sustenance, music, and species degeneration all day and evening.
Take a Trip Without Leaving
Missing Linck Festival is free and open to all peaceable lifeforms, but if you want to take a guided expedition, we've got your trip. Events have been paired down in 2025 (all returning in 2026), but we do have ONE GREAT OPTION! The Brewery District CURC is debuting the VERY FIRST EVER tours of the historic Bruckmann Brewery, departing every half-hour between 1 and 4PM. Push the button and get info. and tickets!
It never existed, yet you always wanted to come
This is an evolutionary festival held in a former church in Northside, centered around a mysteriously undead yeast strain. If you read the previous sentence and thought, "OK, that makes sense," you're among your own. If you have a latent desire to go to a bar randomly dressed like Sasquatch, a Neanderthal, a higher life form, Charles Darwin or Little Bo Peep; if you want to stand up for the humane treatment of single-cell organisms; if you ever wake up wondering whether Idiocracy is actually a documentary sent back from the future as a warning; or if you just enjoy great and creative beers, we'll see you at Missing Linck Festival. It's where you belong.
