The 2nd Annual Phoenix Brewers Invitational Festival ~ Get Crafty 2013: Arizona has made great strides in developing a craft beer culture and it is time to implement a new beginning in terms of a featured beer festival that benefits the City of Phoenix, State of Arizona and the celebration of Greg Fretz life and vision for building the Phoenix craft beer community.
Description: The Phoenix Brewers Invitational Festival provides the Arizona craft beer scene and the city of Phoenix with a signature event to help generate awareness of our developing craft beer culture. Situated in the heart of downtown Phoenix, it is an ideal venue for anyone interested in enjoying craft beers. The festival will showcase the soul of Arizona's active craft beer community and scores of award-winning beers. The Phoenix Brewers Invitational Festival exists to provide an opportunity for people to sample and learn about a variety of craft beer styles from across the country. Sixty-one breweries from all parts of the nation offer more than 60 styles of handcrafted brews during the two day event.
The Phoenix Brewers Invitational Festival will also include a “Get Crafty” VIP area that will offer sponsors and festival participants a high-end experience with some of the rarest craft beers available in the state of Arizona.
The festival’s focus is craft beer, but we will also offer Arizona based wine and spirits. The event features live music, beer-related vendors, beer memorabilia displays, home brewing demonstrations and a variety of local foods. In addition, we will also feature an Arizona craft root beer garden, offering complimentary handcrafted sodas for minors and designated drivers.
The Phoenix Brewers Invitational Festival encourages responsible drinking and urges patrons to take advantage of the Metro Light Rail with stops, located just blocks away from the festival. Whether you arrive by bus, train, taxi, or car just don’t drink and drive!
