Hosted by the Arizona Craft Brewers Guild, this event is not just for hardcore beer aficionados says, Andrew Executive Director of the Arizona Craft Brewers Guild. “Hosted in February, it’s the perfect excuse to get out and enjoy fun in the Arizona sun, which is why we’re so excited to partner with Salt River Fields to take over these beautiful grass-lined grounds. While the rest of the nation is still shivering, we’re enjoying a full-day outdoors with family and friends.”
Plus, as one of the first beer festivals in the nation, “the AZ Strong Beer Festival has a long tradition of launching new brands and beers, both locally and nationwide.”
