AZ Strong Beer Festival® 2018

18th Annual Celebration of Craft Beer with 150 breweries and over 500 top craft beers on tap.

If you attend any craft beer festival in the Phoenix area all year, this should be it. One of the top festivals with an amazing and large selection of craft beer. 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.
