The Arizona Craft Brewers Guild will host the ‘Keep Arizona Brewing’ Virtual Beer Festival on Saturday, April 18, beginning at 2 p.m. as a benefit for brewery and beer industry employees. Participants are encouraged to pick up or order a delivery of beers from a local brewery, turn their cameras on at home, and enjoy Arizona brews virtually with other enthusiasts.

The Virtual Beer Fest, which will take place through Zoom, Facebook Live and YouTube Live, will include chats with brewers, virtual tours of local breweries, a Make Your Own Wristband competition, Best Pretzel Necklace contest and even a live music stream called Couchella.  Participants are encouraged to post photos and videos of their virtual beer fest activities with the hashtag #azvirtualbeerfest. Tickets to participate start at just $5 and will support the Arizona Craft Brewers Guild and Arizona Craft Brewing community. 

A limited number of VIP tickets are available starting at $50. These tickets provide the ticket holder with the opportunity to become part of the beer fest programming by being on the webcast with the brewers, asking questions and chatting between segments. T-shirts are also available. Participants who purchase a shirt on or before April 15 will receive free admission to the Virtual Beer Festival.
