Celebrate 2015 With a Week of Beer Festivities - At a Beer Week Near You
Around this time of year, people tend to do a lot of looking back and looking forward. They take stock on what they did and didn't do this past year, and set some resolutions and goals for the year to come. In other words, calendars become mighty popular as the New Year creeps in. Since your calendar is already out, then, we figured it's a mighty fine time for you to start booking your weeklong getaways across the country to one of the many (and we do mean many) Beer Weeks being celebrated in 2015.
Here at BeerFests, we love to introduce our readers to those daylong and weekend-long festivities that celebrate craft beer. But we're never afraid to go bigger and better from time to time, which is why we've compiled this guide to 2015 Beer Weeks in America, featuring 7-day festivities in every region of the country. So whether you're looking for an outing in our backyard, or are in need of an excuse to take a vacation, we have a week, and party, custom made for you. And we encourage you, our readers, to let us know which Beer Weeks we've missed.
