Premier Craft Beer and Food Pairing Event Returns with
More Beer and More Breweries than Ever
What: Returning to Washington D.C.,
SAVORSM: An American Craft Beer & Food Experience will unite craft beer lovers and independent brewers this June for the 11th year. Presented by the
Brewers Association
(BA), SAVOR is hailed as the premier craft beer and food pairing event
in the U.S., serving up a selection of small bites perfectly paired with
craft beer from independent breweries around
the country.
This year’s list of participating breweries is larger than ever, with
90 small and independent craft brewers set to serve a
diverse range of over 180 beers poured by the visionaries behind the brands. Delight your senses, discover new tastes and learn about beer and food pairing under
the soaring columns of the historic National Building Museum.
When: Friday, June 1 and Saturday, June 2, 2018
7:30 p.m. – 11:00 p.m. ET
Who: Ninety small and independent craft brewers—60
percent of which were not present at last year’s event, and 36 percent
of which are first-time participants—will be serving 180 varieties of
craft beer, representing 32 states and
Washington D.C. A mouth-watering selection of small plates to pair with your beer will be prepared by
Chef Adam Dulye, Brewers Association executive chef and author of newly released
The Beer Pantry.
Why: Craft beer aficionados know that independently brewed beer is
designed to dazzle their taste buds – especially when paired with the
perfect small plate. As the world of beer becomes increasingly
flavorful, there has been a surge of interest in how that
can complement the culinary sphere. SAVOR celebrates the delectable
harmony between craft beer and cuisine.

version of Port City's flagship wit as the foundation, crushed Pinot

with Crux’s house strains of Brettanomyces, for the ultimate
collaboration. Each SAVOR attendee will receive a bottle of this special
beer as an exit gift.
