The Vail Craft Beer Classic is Back on June 17-18
Presented by Team Player Productions, the best craft beer festival in the Rocky Mountains is back for its sixth year; tickets go on sale March 29
GOLDEN, Colo. (March 29, 2022)— Team Player Productions (TPP), producers of world-class food and drink festivals across the country, proudly presents the return of the Vail Craft Beer Classic on June 17-18, 2022. The Vail Craft Beer Classic is Colorado’s highest altitude beer tasting, providing an assortment of more than 100 of the best craft beer, seltzers and ciders in the state alongside scenic views of Vail and live music. New to the Classic this year is the Friday Night Extended Tasting, with more time to sample and an extended beer list. Tickets cost $49-64, and can be purchased via Eventbrite.
TPP was one of the few producers in the state to put on a craft beer festival in 2020, including a re-imagined festival experience with limited capacity and steller beer-drinking experience again in 2021. The Vail Craft Beer Classic comes back this summer even better than before.
“Beer lovers will get to sample delicious brews from some of the best breweries in the country, rub elbows with their favorite breweries, and take in scenic views of the Vail Valley,” says Vail Craft Beer Classic Event Director Kristen Slater. “Umphrey’s McGee playing Sunday night at Gerald Ford Amphitheater is the cherry on top for this Vail adventure.”
