In a time when the Craft Beer industry is being inundated with trademark disputes, litigation, distribution battles and general growing pains, it’s refreshing to see a major industry leader return to basics. Sierra Nevada Brewing Company’s Beer Camp Across America is doing just that through a slew of collaboration beer releases and a massive 7 stop tour across the country featuring over 700 breweries throughout the country.
Last October to celebrate the moment of the craft beer movement, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. invited 12 highly esteemed industry partners from across the country to join them in brewing 12 collaborations beers. The partners included the likes of Firestone Walker, Oskar Blues, Three Floyds, New Glarus, Russian River, The Asheville Brewers Alliance (brewers from Wicked Weed and Greenman Brewing), Allagash, Bells, Ballast Point, Cigar City, and Ninkasi. The result was 12 phenomenal beers, which will now be showcased on a 7 stop tour beginning in Chico, CA, home of Sierra Nevada’s main facility and ending in Mills River, NC, site of Sierra Nevada’s eastern operations right outside of Asheville.
When Sierra Nevada Beer Camp Across America was announced, the brewery sent out a virtual “message in a beer bottle” inviting all of the country’s breweries to join them at each of their stops to showcase 2 of their beers. The result is over 700 breweries who have signed up with approximately 100 breweries per stop who will pour their beers in one of the more unique traveling beer spectacles the world has ever seen.
Beer Camp rolls into Denver Friday night at Civic Center Park. Tickets are currently still on sale for $65 and will include a commemorative tasting glass, unlimited pours from 5-10 p.m. along with live music from March Fourth Marching Band.
