If you attend any craft beer festival in the Phoenix area all year, the 18th Annual Arizona Strong Beer Festival should be it. From hoppy selections such as Faced IPA from Find a Craft BreweryFreak’N Brewing Company in Peoria, to malty good brews like Machine Gun Teddy from Goldwater Brewing in Scottsdale, and mouth-puckering sours like Cloud People from Crooked Tooth Brewing in Tucson, the brews at this fest are sure to please.  There is something for everyone. Many will be strong in flavor — as well as specialty styles and unique, just-for-this-event brews. Festival-goers will have a chance to sample from over 150 breweries in Arizona and across the country. Each ticket holder will receive a commemorative tasting cup and drink tickets. Food is available for purchase. Attendees will also have the chance to research each beer appearing at the festival to map out their tasting plan of attack through the “Untappd” app.

Live Music Lineup:

CatFish Mustache, Kung Fu Grip with Joel Maze, The Hour Glass Cats, Good Rust, Black Bottom Lighters

Arizona’s Best Food Vendors:

To compliment the incredible beer line up, the Strong Beer Festival will also feature a smorgasbord of Arizona’s best food vendors, including El Jefe Tacos, Gorilla Cheese Truck, Doughlicious, Bourbon Jacks Wood Fired Grill and the Hungry Monk, in addition to several other dining options that will be on site.

Bonus:

​Strong Man Games will be available.
