In an event you’d think you’d see in Texas, Snowmass is hosting the 7th annual unofficial summer kick-off, The Chili Pepper & Brew Fest.
The chili is legit–it’s part of the International Chili Society’s chili competitions and tastings in Snowmass, while microbrewers face off in a prestigious summer ale competition featuring 50 plus breweries (listed below). New this year, there will be a European and exotic beer tasting tent. Fanny Hill rocks with hot music like Brett Dennen and George Clinton all weekend.
The Fest is today (starting at 5:30pm) and tomorrow (starting at 3pm), tix range from $25 for a one-day concert pass to a $75 two-day Champion pass good for chili, beer, and concerts.
For an extra $15 with your ticket or $25 without, you can hit the Official After Party After Dark at the Viceroy pool. Doors at 10pm.
