One of the best beer festivals of the year comes up this Saturday at the beautiful and shadetree-laden town park in downtown Salida. A number of us HOPS members as well as dignitaries from Pagosa Brewing Co. are heading to Salida to check out the festivities. You should think about going, too!
You can head up from Pagosa to Salida on Saturday morning as the festival starts at 1 pm and it's only a 2 1/2 hour drive to Salida from Pagosa. I recommend getting a hotel room or staking out a camp site in Salida as the festival does end at 5 pm but there is always a nice after-party where you can hang out with lots of brewers and other industry mavens. And at only $25 a ticket to sample libations from more than 50 primarily Colorado breweries, what more can you ask?
