Things We Like About SAVOR

, Things We Like About SAVOROne of America’s premier craft beer events is returning to Washington, DC this weekend (June 3rd & 4th). We’re pretty psyched about it and for good reasons.

Presented by the Brewers Association, SAVOR is one of three annual events that the organization puts on every year. But unlike the Craft Brewers Conference (CBC) which is for and all about the Industry and its professionals, and The Great American Beer (GABF) which is geared more for the craft beer’s fans, SAVOR is about the harmony between craft beer and cuisine.

If you’ve ever attended a SAVOR in the past – then you already know how special it is. But if you were lucky enough to have landed tickets to this weekend’s “American Craft Beer & Food Experience” – get ready to have your world rocked!

And here are some things that we enjoy about SAVOR…

, Things We Like About SAVORThe Concept

This event celebrates America’s growing interest in the pairing of craft beer with food. And it’s at a level that you’ll only see at SAVOR. Imagine the best craft beer dinner that you’ve ever attended and multiply that experience by some 70+ brewers. And all of them will be serving up their most unique beers along with separate food offerings designed to pair brilliantly with the specific beers that you’re sampling.

The Scale

While SAVOR might be the largest craft beer and food experience that you’ve ever attended, its size is relatively intimate when compared to mega events like Denver’s GABF. The Brewers Association has deliberately limited ticket sales to ensure a comfortable experience. It’s called SAVOR for a reason and the BA has worked hard to make sure that no one feels rushed and that everyone has the time to savor the food, the beer and the evening.

Another benefit of SAVOR’s more intimate scale is that it allows for the opportunity to meet and talk beer with some of the industry’s biggest names. Without the demands of the long and unending lines that plague so many other events, the brewers themselves have time to hang and just seem so much more relaxed. They have the time to meet with you, to answer your questions to enjoy the evening with you. Many brewers that we know have told us that SAVOR is there favorite event of the year – and we can understand why.
