Come thirsty to downtown Scottsdale on Saturday, February 4 where the third annual Brewers Bowl craft beer festival is taking place. With the craft beer scene in Arizona quickly pouring out more and more beers, the event is designed to showcase the best of the state. The event features all local breweries, including many in their first production year. Thirsty patrons will have the opportunity to enjoy beer tastings from at least 20 breweries along with live music and food trucks.

“With almost 100 breweries now in the state, Arizona is making its mark on the craft beer scene,” says Lewis Kubitz, creator of the Brewers Bowl. “The Brewers Bowl focuses on our local representation within the craft beer industry and brings it together in one place for everyone to enjoy.”

The event will also crown a 2017 beer champion winner. Prior to the festival a competition will allow breweries to submit multiple beer samples to be judged in a blind tasting by a panel of certified beer judges who have completed the Beer Judge Certification Program. Contestants will be judged on a variety of beer characteristics including aroma, flavor, balance and drinkability, among others. The winning brewery will get to boast bragging rights and take home a shiny trophy. Past winners include North Mountain Brewing Company and The Beer Research Institute.
