Arizona Craft Brewers Guild announces indoor craft beer festival

The Arizona Craft Brewers Guild has announced Real, Wild and Woody, a one-day only, exclusive indoor craft beer festival designed for those who love the variety and diversity of the Strong Beer Festival, but perhaps crave a more intimate setting. The main purpose of the smaller-scale event is to celebrate and focus on the beer itself.

This is an event that only our state brewers could bring to Arizona. It’s a big thank you to those that supported our larger Strong Beer Festival. This is a smaller event. Attendees are all VIPs because you help us accomplish our goal of celebrating Arizona beer and beer culture.”
