The SweetWater Experience
Step out of the sun and into The SweetWater Experience, where you will be able to taste your way through more than 20 unique styles of beers, all from the brewers at SweetWater. Of course we’ll have all of our year-round offerings, plus the freshest Catch and Release seasonal brew; but here’s where it gets fun! We are digging deep in the cellar, and creating a plethora of new beauties that will only be available in this tent at the 420 Festival.Experimental IPA’s, barrel-aged stouts, Dank Tanks galore, a bevy of cask ale offerings – all tapped and together within The SweetWater Experience.
Plus, we’ll be slinging knowledge alongside the great beers, as we invite our brewers, partners, and industry friends to be a part of the experience and lend their insight on stage. Throughout the weekend guests will have the opportunity to sit in on free sessions featuring a variety of topics to learn so much more about craft beer, beyond what is in their glasses. We’ll be sharing our stories and digging deep on topics such as starting a brewery, what’s the business side of selling beer looks like, how best to pair beer with food, home brewing, and so much more.
Step into The SweetWater Experience throughout the weekend for topics and tastings as wide as our brewer’s bellies.
