SAVOR returns to Washington, DC this weekend (June 2^nd-3^rd). And if you care about memorable craft beer and food, there’s not a better experience on the face of the planet!

One of three event’s presented annually by the Brewer’s Association, SAVOR is all about having an elegant experience and the harmony between craft beer and cuisine.

If you’ve ever attended a SAVOR in the past – then you already know how special and it is. And you’re going for the first time this weekend – get ready to have your world rocked!

And here are some things that we enjoy about SAVOR…

The Concept

Imagine the best craft beer dinner that you’ve ever attended in a magnificent setting (Washington, DC’s National Building Museum).

Then multiply that experience by 86 of America’s most gifted brewers and 172 beers each one thoughtfully paired with a small plate specially curated to dazzle.

The Scale

Although SAVOR will no doubt be the largest craft beer and food experience that you’ve ever attended, its size remains relatively intimate especially when compared to mega events like Denver’s Great American Beer Festival.

The Brewers Association deliberately limits tickets to ensure a vibrant experience where you never have to wait in long lines or fight your way through crowds.

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.

The Access

Another benefit of SAVOR’s comparatively intimate scale and setting is that it allows attendees the opportunity to meet and talk beer with some of the industry’s biggest names.

Without the demands of the crowds and the long and unending lines that plague so many major events, the visiting brewers just seem so much more relaxed. They have the time to hang, 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.
