Big Beers, Belgians and Barleywines Festival
The 15th annual Big Beers, Belgians and Barleywines Festival will be held January 8 through 10, 2015, in Vail Cascade Resport & Spa, Vail, Colorado, with the new Village Brewmasters’ Dinner set for Terra Bistro in the Vail Mountain Lodge.
It starts with a Brewers’ Reception and the Brewmasters’ Dinner, then continues with workshops and seminars and tastings, an American Homebrewers Association-sanctioned Belgians, Barleywines and Strong Ales Homebrew Competition and, well, anything a Road Trips Foodie on a brewcation could desire. (There’s even a cigar pairing event.)
The Commercial Tasting portion of the Big Beers Festival begins at 2:30 p.m. January 10 and continues until 6 p.m. This international tasting is open to the public and showcases more than 200 different commercially produced specialty beers from around the world.
