Mountain Brewers' Beer Fest!

The Mountain Brewers Festival is a mear month away. If you love beer, and have never been your really missing out. Located under the Big Top at Sandy Downs in Idaho Fall, Idaho this annual event gives attendees the opportunity to sample hundreds of different beers from over eighty breweries!

Tickets in the Salt Lake area can be found at most local breweries and brew pubs.
The ticket price - $20 in advance, $25 at the door - includes admission, unlimited three ounce samples and live music.

There's also a food court featuring a variety of treats to gnosh upon.

This is a damn fine event. It's proximity to northern Utah and it's affordability make this an awesome weekend get away. Check out the link for lodging info or call the Beer Fest Hotline: 208-528-MBBF. Send a reply and let us know if your attending. It would be great to put faces to the posts. Cheers!

Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

If your going to the Great American Beer festival this weekend and you haven't got your tix, you may be screwed. I found out earlier this morning that most of the sessions have sold out completely! This has left many scrambling to get what ever tix they can find. Yours truly included. My wife and I have been attending GABF for the last nine years and in that time we have never had any trouble buying tix the day of any given session. Looks like the scalpers are going make a killing this weekend. If we make it in, I'll hopefully post some pics next week. Pray for us all.

BEER FEST CANCELLED!!!

Due to shitty weather the Utah Brewers Festival has been cancelled. Apparently it's going to be snowy and miserable. I think the organizers made the right call for everyone involved. If you've already purchased an $8.00 festival ticket, you can receive a refund from October 8 - 26, 2007:
1. Bring your ticket to the Gallivan Center on Saturday, October 6 between 11:00 a.m. & 1:00 p.m.
2. Bring your ticket to the Tracy Aviary during business hours. Liberty Park - SE corner 589 East 1300 South.
Check back in the coming months for a date and time for the 2008 Utah Brewers Festival.

Utah Brewers Festival

Last month someone asked me when the Utah Brewers Festival was going to be held, I embarrassingly said it was on indefinite hiatus. Well, apparently the hiatus is over. Jamie Burnham: Manager at the Beer Nut, kindly informed me that the elusive, somewhat annual, local beer soiree is on.

The Utah Brewers Festival will be held on Saturday Oct. 6th from 11am to 10pm featuring breweries from all over the state. Tickets are $8.00 in advance and $12.00 day of and can be purchased at participating breweries until October 5th.
