Congrats HAMS!

Letter to the editor from Aspen Times about the Beer and Chili Fest!

Dear Editor:

Snowmass Chili Pepper & Brew Fest, June 6-8, was a true success and couldn’t have been such a fun, entertaining and incredible weekend for all without everyone’s dedication, hard work and support. As a signature summer kickoff event, it was so great to see friends, families, locals and out-of-towners enjoy the frothy brews, delicious chili and amazing music on Fanny Hill!

We have so many individuals and groups we would like to give a huge thanks to: Aspen Skiing Co., for all their hard work on the site setup; the talented Alchemy sound crew; the extremely organized ticketing ladies, Anna B. & crew; Luis Mendoza’s entire bar and cleanup crew; Jacqie Stewart; the town of Snowmass Village (TOSV) police and fire department; TOSV planning and public works department; all our local ticket outlets; our extremely talented and devoted marketing company, Promotional Concepts; the entire Mountain Groove Productions, Inc., staff, who worked in all conditions with smiling faces to produce a remarkable event; and the many volunteers who donated their time and efforts. Of course, those volunteers that went above and beyond their duties, we can’t thank you enough!

We have such an enthusiastic and talented town of Snowmass Village marketing and special events team; we would like to thank everyone involved for making this festival such an amazing weekend.

To all the local cooks and homebrewers who participated on Sunday, June 8, it was true dedication when the snow started falling and everyone continued cooking, with smiles on their faces while serving delicious chili and homebrews! A special thanks to the Roaring Fork HAMS Homebrewers Club for gathering your homebrew enthusiasts and your excellent display of homebrews … very impressive.

The Fifth Annual Snowmass Chili Pepper & Brew Festival was a success because of each and every one of you! Thanks again for your efforts and contribution of time. Our biggest heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended the weekend; we loved seeing you embrace the music, chili and brews in our gorgeous Rocky Mountain town!
Cheers until next year!

Big Beer Weekend!

All, The snowmass Chili Pepper and Brew Fest is upon us. I'll be there both Friday and Saturday evenings, as well as Sunday afternoon of course. I heop to see lots of you there. If the weather holds out it'll be a nice time. There's gonna be some great beer and music, oh yeah, there will be chili too. :)

Monday night is the regularly scheduled meeting at Glenwood Canyon Brewing, 7PM. If you can't make Snowmass, or even if you can make Snowmass, get over to the meeting on Monday. There's always lots of great beer and even better people to talk to. I'll be there as well, and I'll try to save myself for trying even more beer.
