The Great Arizona Beer Festival is the next on our list. Break out the sun tan lotion and flip-flops and join us, March 6th and 7th, 2010, for spring drinking in Tempe, Ariz.

The venue sits on the Tempe Town Lake and gives plenty of sun to shed as many layers of winter clothing as you dare. The Sun Sounds Foundation of Arizona runs this charitable event and provides a frikin’ good time. The Great Arizona Beer Festival is a close enough to walk to the array of bars that line Mill Ave.—that is, IF you are still standing after the Festival.

While in the area, we suggest attending a spring training game, going for some hot wings at the Native New Yorker, getting a margarita or Corona at Dos Gringos and sipping a pint—or two—at Four Peaks Brewpub. We may even give away some tickets to the Festival to some of our loyal team members.

The snow in Utah is fantastic, but the Arizona sun is looming large. It is nearing “Beer Thirty” in Tempe! Join us at the Great Arizona Beer Festival, hope to see you there.

Extras:

Join us Friday night, March 5th, at Four Peaks on 8th Street in Tempe at 7 p.m. for some “pre-gaming.”
