Now this sounds interesting….
This weekend (March 7 and 8, 2009), the 21st Annual Great Arizona Beer Festival takes place at Tempe Beach Park.
Live music, food and of course beer – some 200 varieties – are on tap, so to speak.
Regular tickets are $40 in advance (hurry!) and $50 at the gate, but that includes entrance, live music, a souvenir mug and most importantly 24 tasting tickets. VIP tickets are also available that provide, well, VIP privileges.
In an act of supreme coolness, all proceeds go directly to Sun Sounds of Arizona, who provide reading / audio services for people who are blind or whose disability prevents them from reading printed material.
So if you are looking for something to do in the Phoenix area this weekend, it’s hard to beat a beer festival for a great cause.

Did someone say beer?
Beer? I am SO there!
Beer, Food, & Music! It doesn’t get much better than that. Festivals are great networking opportunities.
It’s happening NOW! and i’m not there! How can it be? Well, next year, i’m in!
Beer? Music? Festival? Go back to Mars if you don’t like that combo.
Wow the Great Arizona Beer Festival seems fun ! I would love to join the fun. Thanks for the useful information. I will definitely check it out.
everyone loves a great beer and a great beer story.

Would love to go, but just took 3 of my college buddies, their wives and 7 kids to the airport. After baseball games, hanging at the pool in the sun, Cave Creek and the McDowell Mtn Ranch Park and Aquatic Center this old man is whipped. Ha. Would love to check it out though.
What a wonderful idea and a great excuse to go have fun!

If only I could drive down from Pittsburgh in time. Good luck to everyone raising funds for the charity; I’m sure it will do well!
Sounds like it will be a lot of fun!
How was it Jay? I can’t believe I missed another beer festival in Arizona. Every year I hear how good they are and every year I miss one more – wtf?
Jayson – I missed it too….
why did I not know about this?
Do you happen to know how much the Sun Sounds of Arizona was able to raise from the beerfest? I hope they did well; what a wonderful cause to support!

The Beerfest is one of the things I missed most when I moved from AZ! Nothing beats supporting a good cause while having a great time!
Sounds like a great idea for a civic organization we support here in Central Florida.
I know you missed it, but do you happen to know how the fundraiser went? I am sure it did have a good turnout and I hope the Sun Sounds Of Arizona were able to raise a lot of funds!

Awe man, this would have been worth trying to fly out for! Beer and a charity? You really can’t beat that! I hope it turned out well
Oh man, that sounds like big fun. We have that kind of festival almost every summer week here in Germany.
Oh yeah… We have the same kind of festival every october in munich called “Oktoberfest”. it's definitely a must go, if you haven't seen it already!
yeah sounds great. Have you seen the german Oktoberfest?
Oktoberfest is a sixteen-day festival held each year in Munich, Germany during late September and running to early October. It is one of the most famous events in Germany and the world's largest fair, with some six million people attending every year, and is an enjoyable event with an important part of Bavarian culture.
