Beaver Creek Craft Beer Festival

If you'd rather just focus on the beer this weekend (as opposed to the Blues & BBQ, too), head over to Beaver Creek's Craft Beer Festival, which features a larger assortment of craft Colorado beer and yard games for some afternoon fun by the base of Beaver Creek Mountain. And if you do feel the urge to get your fix of BBQ (and Blues!), you're in luck—the rest of the festival is located just around the corner near the Beaver Creek ice skating rink (General Admission starting at $50 per person). eventbrite.com
