Sour & Sweet Beer Fest

Scottsdale-based Fate Brewing Company will host the inaugural Sour & Sweet Beer Fest at The Clayton House in Old Town Scottsdale on August 13. The new craft beer festival will feature more than 50 light and sour beers from 13 Arizona breweries, food from local food trucks and live music.

“A crisp lager or sour hits differently on a hot Arizona summer day,” says Fate Head Brewer Adam Schmeichel. “So, we thought, ‘Why not bring together the best light and sour beers our brewing community has to offer into one festival?’ Thus, the Sour & Sweet Beer Fest was born. Best of all, we’ll be indoors.”

Sour & Sweet Beer Fest will be held at The Clayton House, an event space located in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale at 3719 North 75th Street.

·        O.H.S.O. Brewery
