One of three important craft beer gatherings presented annually by the Brewer’s Association, who also sponsor the Craft Brewers Conference as well as the Great American Beer Festival, SAVOR is without a doubt the East Coast’s most significant craft beer gathering.
And now after a two year hiatus due to COVID-19, SAVOR is officially ON and returning to Washington, DC on Friday June 24th.
SAVOR is rightly billed as “An American Craft Beer Experience.” And while the beers served are always spectacular…the pairing menu is equally important to this event. After all it’s not just about the beers at SAVOR… It’s about pairing the right beers with the right cuisine at this one-of-a-kind event…
And this year’s pairing menu, overseen by an all-star culinary team, is equally impressive…
