Colorado’s top breweries and beer enthusiasts come together in Vail Village at the Vail Craft Beer Classic for the most adventurous craft beer event of the summer. Take in the scenic views of Vail while you immerse yourself in hop-culture. Live music, food trucks, and bar stands are available at the festival!
Attendees can taste between hundreds of beers and vote for the Best Beer of Summer. The breweries will taste others’ beers and vote for the Brewer’s Choice winner. The winning breweries in each category will receive the first place prize – the Vail Craft Beer Classic tap handle for Best Beer of Summer.
