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 2025 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".
The event is set alongside Payette lake at the Ludwig Terrace of the Ponderosa Center. Destination:Beer is under large, heated tents complete with twinkle lights, linens, and festive decor. Not just your average beer fest in a parking lot. Plus - we include snacks!
