NHCBC is curated for independent craft brewers, by independent craft brewers and provides an invaluable opportunity for brewers to learn from one another and discuss their needs. The event is also designed to be relevant to everyone working at breweries or in the craft brewing and hospitality industry — whether in brewing, sales, beertending, front of the house, operations, buyers, suppliers, or marketing.

The premier beer event of the winter, Destination:Beer, is back for 2023! 

The Friday night session, February 24 will feature more than 15 Idaho breweries plus and optional blind tasting for you to win prizes! Additional details to be announced

Pub snacks like pretzels, peanuts, and brats are included with your ticket plus a commemorative tasting glass. Tickets for Friday are $45 per ticket (+ fees & taxes)

On Saturday, February 25, attendees can expect to sample more than forty craft beers from more than twenty Idaho breweries plus enjoy heavy appetizers focused on Idaho-sourced ingredients. The event will take place at the Ludwig Terrace at Ponderosa Center downtown McCall. 

The tap list will be released closer to the event date but there will be something for everyone! Many breweries will showcase a barrel-aged beer for the occasion and some even make a beer just for Destination:Beer. Dark, light, malty, hoppy - we promise, you can taste it all! Tickets for Saturday at $85 per ticket (+ fees & taxes)

The Bottle Pull will also take place on Saturday! For $10, you draw a number then get to take home a bottle, crowler, or six-pack of the corresponding beer. What beer? You won't know until we draw but we do guarantee you'll get you ten dollars worth! GREAT NEWS FANS: You can add on a bottle pull with your ticket but we are limiting the quantity. Additional tokens will be available at the event. 

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!

Mark your calendars:

Two sessions: 11am and 3pm

Join us for the biggest Real Ale (cask) event in New Hampshire! We are once again rallying both hyper-local and regional breweries to put together a unique tasting experience!  Last year we had the biggest attendance of brewers, guests and the most unique collection of casks do date.

Cask.On Cask Ale Awards
New this year, we have added a pre-fest event.  A limited number of panel judge spots are available for Saturday evening.  Panelists will be put into groups and provided 5-6 cask samples, along with corresponding score cards.  At the fest's conclusion, we will announce the first, second and third place casks as decided by our panel judges.

Attendees of both the first and second session will have the ability to vote for their favorite casks, and a "crowd favorite" award will be selected.
