The Beer Fest returns on Sept. 12 from 2 to 6 p.m. at Superior Community Park as a part of the Superior Chili & Beer Fest, and prepping before comes with perks!
Pre-purchased Beer Fest tickets are $40, saving you $10 off the day-of price. Grab yours early, lock in the better rate and show up ready to enjoy the afternoon!
Your Beer Fest ticket includes unlimited 3-ounce tastings from over a dozen Colorado-based beer, cider, wine and spirit vendors. Sample new pours, revisit familiar favorites and take home a souvenir Boulder Valley Beer Fest mug.
Beer Fest also puts you in the middle of the full Chili & Beer Fest experience, including free chili-flavored food samples while supplies last, live music from Mono Verde Collective and Erica Brown Entertainment, food trucks with for-purchase meal options, local vendors, games and more.
Beer Fest is open to guests 21 and older and is hosted by the Rotary Club of Boulder Valley, with proceeds supporting local projects and programs.
Looking to upgrade your Chili & Beer Fest experience? VIP tickets are $85 in advance and include everything that comes with Beer Fest admission, plus exclusive access to a shaded VIP lounge with specialty food and beverages with full pours.
Step away from the festival crowds, grab a bite, enjoy a full pour and relax before heading back out for more Chili & Beer Fest fun.
VIP space is limited, so if you'd enjoy an upgraded festival experience, grab your tickets early!
Twenty-five years calls for big flavor, and this year we're expanding beyond the traditional bowl of chili to include creative chili-flavored foods of all kinds.
What does this mean? Va-ri-et-y!!! Think beef chili arepas, green chile mac and cheese, chili dogs, chili cheese fries, chili egg rolls, chili-spiced popcorn and even chili pepper mochas.
It’s the same Chili & Beer Fest love of flavor, just with a whole lot more room for creativity.
During the festival, sample as many options as you can, discover new takes on festival favorites and vote for the chili creation you think deserves the title of People’s Choice.
Not a big chili fan? We’ve still got you covered! Food and dessert trucks will be on site offering a variety of meals and sweet treats for purchase in addition to their free chili-flavored samples. You’ll find plenty more than chili on the menu!
