Established in 2017, Destination:Beer is a celebration of Idaho craft beer in the picturesque McCall, ID. Two dozen Idaho breweries serve more than fifty beers for the occasion. Some rare, some barrel-aged, and something for everyone. We’re proud to emphasize locally sourced ingredients for delectable appetizers (included with admission).  This event has sold out many weeks in advance since its inception and we expect 2024 to be no different. 

Destination:Beer is rain, snow, or shine so come prepared! We highly recommend warm, winter footwear and layers. Beer and food will be in/under tents with heaters but it is February in Idaho so dress warmly!

Additional details to be announced including participating breweries, food options, and the-activity-formerly-known-as-"The Bottle Pull".

Get your long johns, furry hats and winter gear ready...Ice Fest is happening again! Tasting Brews with The Beveridge’s will bring together a bunch of the finest craft breweries around to pour some of their tasty brews on 19 Mile Bay.  This is the tenth annual Ice Fest and we are psyched to host it again. This is a winter outdoor tasting on the Ice of Lake Winnipesaukee so please come prepared with warm clothing, ice cleats and hand and foot warmers.  We're looking forward to having an amazing day with all of you!
