If there are two things guests and locals alike count on from Summit County they are good snow and good beer. Arapahoe Basin promises plenty of both this weekend with the 10th annual Festival of the Brewpubs set for Sunday afternoon.
New Belgium Brewing, out of Fort Collins, Great Divide Brewing Co. from Denver, Idaho Spring’s Tommy Knockers Brewery and Avery Brewing Co., out of Boulder, will join the Breckenridge, Backcountry, Dillon Dam and Pug Ryan’s breweries at the festival Sunday.
Foregoing the more traditional, but chaotic pay-at-the-booth model, A-Basin is instead selling $25 plastic souvenir mugs, which can be filled and refilled from noon until 4 p.m. with samples of the brewer’s handcrafted ales. Each booth will feature a unique flight of signature labels, new beers and old favorites.
