The Southwest’s premier beer festival returns to Salt River Fields this February 17, 2024, with a bonus baseball game, and an expanded lineup featuring 500+ beers, ciders meads and more, including low-alcohol or even non-alcoholic brews. Hosted at Salt River Fields, the 2024 Arizona Strong Beer Festival is the 23rd edition of the biggest, longest running beer festival in the state. The festival now attracts nearly 10,000 craft beer fans looking to sip and savor the latest styles and innovative brews from up to 125 breweries from around the country, paired with live entertainment, dozens of food trucks, and more. Plus, all new for 2024, VIP ticketholders will also receive free tickets to a college baseball game at Salt River Fields on Friday, Feb 16 from 5–7 p.m., featuring $4 cans of AZ craft beer, plus breweries will be on-site serving samples.
Hosted by the Arizona Craft Brewers Guild, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2024, this event is not just for hardcore beer aficionados says, Rob Fullmer, Executive Director of the Arizona Craft Brewers Guild. “Hosted in February, it’s the perfect excuse to get out and enjoy fun in the Arizona sun, which is why we’re so excited to partner with Salt River Fields to take over these beautiful grass-lined grounds. While the rest of the nation is still shivering, we’re enjoying a full-day outdoors with family and friends.” Plus, as one of the first beer festivals in the nation, “the AZ Strong Beer Festival has a long tradition of launching new brands and beers, both locally and nationwide.”
Hosted February 17 from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Early Bird ticket pricing is now available through November 24.
- Early Bird General Admission $50 ($70 regular pricing)
