Boulder Craft Beer Symposium at Avery

I had no idea this was going on, but I got my ticket this morning, so clearly there are some still available. Though, for the price, I have no idea why that might be.

Boulder Wine Merchant is hosting the Boulder Craft Beer Symposium at Avery Brewing Company to promote some of the amazing craft beer talent we have here in Boulder County. Our beer buyer, Matt Mitton and myself, have summoned the help of our favorite local brewers to participate in a discussion/seminar followed by an exclusive beer garden tasting of new and exciting beers from each brewery that will be accompanied by the delicious food of Pizzeria Basta.

The seminar will be limited to 40 people at $25 per person, with representatives from Crooked Stave, Avery, and Crystal Springs \hosting the discussion. We are looking to broach the topic of the current and future status of craft beer here in Colorado. By questioning these talented brewers, we are looking to learn more about the new trends in brewing (including barrel-aging), strong beers, wild fermentation, and the sourcing of more local ingredients. We will discuss competition vs. collaboration and how it affects the industry here in Colorado. Finally, we will taste a number of micro-brewed beers that represent the best from each brewery.
Following the seminar we are opening the party up to a total of 100 guests to enjoy a walk around tasting with catered pizza from Pizzeria Basta. Upslope and Elevation Brewing will be joining us for this tasting. The cost for this event will be $25 per person. This will be the perfect opportunity to meet the brewers and taste their latest creations. It should be a fantastic afternoon of beer education and enjoyment. We hope this will be an annual event and look forward to your participation.
Tickets are extremely limited and all proceeds will go to the Growe Foundation to help educate our kids on the importance of local and organic farming. Growe helps a large number of young kids learn how to garden by planting and tending to school gardens here in Boulder. Tickets can be purchased directly from the link below. The cost for both events is only $45.
We hope to see you there!
Cheers,
Brett Zimmerman, MS
