The Aspen and Snowmass, Colorado summer season kicks off with the Chili Pepper & Brew Fest which promises to heat up the mountains with a fiery weekend of music, chili, and microbrew beer tasting.
The festival celebrates its fifth anniversary in 2008. In five short years, this popular summer season kick-off has grown to host crowds of 7,000-strong. In five years, Snowmass has served over 750 gallons of chili and well over 750 kegs of microbrews to festival goers.
All of this year’s microbreweries are from the state of Colorado! Over 60 microbrews are available to sample on both Friday and Saturday from top Colorado breweries such as Avery Brewing Company, Palisade Brewery, New Belgium, and Stone Brewing Company. Nearly 50 different chili recipes (Chili Red, Chili Salsa, Chili Verdi) are available to sample on both Friday and Saturday.
Sunday is absolutely free and the best year ever to sample amateur homebrews and chili. Children 12 and under are free all weekend long.
