“All across the world, brewers are continuing to raise the bar on craft beer quality, we’re thrilled to be a part of this global community of brewers, and honored to be able to work with some of our brewing heroes.”
This year, Beer Camp is back, and they have journeyed across the globe to partner with 12 of amazing brewers from the United States and overseas for this one-of-a-kind, variety pack of flavors, styles and packaging. On the agenda, there's an 8 festival tour, many sponsored by the local craft brewers’ guilds in each city. Stay tuned for live music, street artists, food trucks and hundreds of beers for tasting.

2017's 'Across the World' is an evolution of the concept started by Sierra Nevada in 2013 to celebrate the spirit of craft and independence through collaborations with like-minded brewers. This year, 12 breweries representing unique geographies and brewing styles were tapped to participate in a one-time collaboration pack that includes the following.
