This year the Arizona Strong Beer Festival celebrates 21 Years and we are pulling all the stops after a long absence. This is truly one of the top festivals in the country featuring an amazing and large selection of craft beer. There is something for everyone. Many will be strong in flavor, character, and tradition — as well as specialty styles and unique, just-for-this-event brews. Festival-goers will have a chance to sample from over 100 breweries in Arizona and across the country. Each ticket holder will receive a commemorative tasting cup and drink tickets. Food is available for purchase.

The event is a fundraiser for the Arizona Craft Brewers Guild, an organization that is instrumental in creating favorable business conditions for Arizona breweries and our wonderful beer culture to grow.

This is a Rain or Shine Event. No Refunds will be given.

Your name doesn't need to match the ticket. Attendees must be 21 or over.

And because food and beer just naturally go together, there will be plenty of top-notch food vendors on hand, serving up tasty eats that wash down well with frosty suds. Original music by local bands will keep the atmosphere rockin’ and Strong Man Games will be available. Presented by the Arizona Craft Brewers Guild.

You must present your ticket and ID (You must have a printed ticket or have a mobile device with a digital ticket bar code to be able to display ticket purchase!)

Ticket holders must present a drink ticket for each beer in accordance with Arizona liquor laws.

Backpacks are allowed but are subject to a lengthy and thorough search.

Outside food is not permitted (pretzel necklaces allowed). Sorry, no pets. Yummy beer-friendly food is available for purchase. Absolutely no weapons are allowed into the event. Simply put, let’s use the common sense rule: If you’re asking yourself ”I wonder if I can ________,” play it safe and don’t do it/ bring it. Let’s have fun!

*Water - Empty water bottles will be permitted into the festival. In an effort to conserve and create a "green" event the Arizona Craft Brewers Guild has several self-serve water stations.

* VIP admission begins at 11:30 am (Designated Drivers arriving with VIPs will also be admitted at 11:30 am!) * General admission begins at 1 pm * Event ends at 4:30 pm.
