| A WORLD-CLASS APPROACH TO CELEBRATING BEER |
The 10th Annual Strong Beer Festival / Saturday February 13th, 2010 Over the years, the Strong Beer Festival has grown to feature “strong beers” while also offering many other different types and styles of beer for tasting. The festival has been moved this year to Margaret T. Hance Park in downtown Phoenix. This move makes the event more centrally located in the metropolitan area. It’s now only a four block walk from the Roosevelt/Central light rail station to provide a transportation alternative. The festival provides musical entertainment as well including the 2 Tone Lizard Kings who will entertain visitors with their fun and upbeat music. A good selection of food items will be available for purchase as well. The Arizona Craft Brewers Guild was established in 1999. This non-profit organization has been dedicated to advancing the understanding and appreciation of the craft brewing industry in Arizona. The guild is dedicated to maintaining the quality and image of Arizona-produced beers through the education of consumers, retailers, distributors and brewers. The guild strives to protect the interests of Arizona brewers and consumers through networking and communication between members and other industry related entities and legislative and governing bodies. The brewer’s guild also encourages responsible consumption of brewery products. Modern craft brewing began in Arizona after the state legislature passed laws in 1987. Two laws were passed, both providing relief from the traditional three-tier distribution system. One allowed a restaurant to both produce and sell beer, making brew pubs legal. The other allowed a brewery to also distribute its products directly to bars, restaurants and the public, which made microbreweries legal. Over the years, these laws have been changed and revised to accommodate the growing craft beer industry. In many cases the distinction between brew pubs and microbreweries has become somewhat blurred to the casual observer. VIP tickets are only available online during advance ticket sales. Online advance ticket sales end 2/7/10. Remaining General admission tickets will be available at the gate. Saturday February 13th, 2010 Noon to 5pm Margaret T. Hance Park, Downtown Phoenix (above I-10 tunnel) Festival Entrance at Moreland St. and 2nd St. Admission: VIP Noon to 5pm $50.00 General $35. Presale or $45 at the door Visit www.azbrewguild.com for more information.
