On June 28th, it’s guaranteed to be hot in Arizona. That’s why a ton of cold beer will be on tap at WestWorld of Scottsdale for a new event: Scottsdale Beer Palooza.

Produced by Affordable Food Festivals (Arizona Taco Festival, Arizona BBQ Festival, Flavors of the West) and M Culinary Concepts, Scottsdale Beer Palooza will feature approximately 50 breweries offering samples of their various brews – from classic stouts and lagers to seasonal ales and IPAs.

The event will take place indoors at the North Hall of WestWorld. The building itself resembles a brewery, with its brick and steel walls and huge exposed air ducts. The most important factor in choosing this location: it’s air-conditioned!

Unlike most beer events, Palooza will feature a Beer Store. Attendees will be able to purchase some of their favorite beers after sampling them by mixing together custom six-packs and even fill growlers. This Beer Store provides a great opportunity to stock up on unique beers for the following weeks’ 4th of July holiday. Also, event tickets make great Father’s Day gifts (Father’s Day is June 15, 2014, two weeks before Palooza).

Tickets are $40 and come with 20 4-ounce samples of beer. VIP tickets cost $60 and come with 25 4-ounce samples, as well as one hour earlier access to beat the lines and try some special brews only available during the VIP hour. Both ticket levels include a collectible mini-mug. Designated Driver tickets are available for $10 and include two non-alcoholic beverages.

Beer-friendly foods will be sold separately from local food trucks and M Culinary Concepts. Live music and fun beer games will round out the event.
