RSS FeedSavor 2011: Two Nights, Higher Cost
Probably Not A Sponsor
Savor, the craft beer event (that also features food) is returning to the Building Museum June 3rd & 4th. A second day has been added this year, the first time the event has been two days since the very first Savor four years ago. But tickets are $15 higher this year (good for one day or the other, not both) at $110 per person. Want to attend one of the classes (“salons”) too? That will run you an additional $30.
We’ve attended each of the three previous Savor events, but we’re not sure about this one. A combined $280 for the Columbo’s to attend one night of Savor plus class/salon is just a lot of money, no matter the economy. Still it’s hard to pass up the only major beer festival we know of in DC–and it is in our backyard.
If you’ve attended Savor in the past or are a member of the American Homebrewers Association or the Brewers Association you can buy your tickets on March 1st. The general public can purchase tickets on March 3rd. General public tickets sold out last year within the first hour.
Do you plan to attend this year?

After checking out this year’s brewery list I’ll probably put myself down for one night. Now it’ll be interesting to see which night that will be & if any of the “Salons” spark any interest.
Here’s the list of 2011 Breweries:

Savor is a one-a-year opportunity for folks in DC to enjoy great craft beer from around the country, including many beers that aren’t normally available here. So while the price is steep, it remains a worthwile event for those who are into craft beer. Judging by how fast the tickets sell out, that’s a lot of people.
