Breckenridge Beer Festival

The Breckenridge Beer Festival returns to Main Street Station Plaza for the sixth consecutive year on Saturday, July 16, 2011, for a frothy celebration of brews and bands. Main Street Station, a professionally managed luxury property by ResortQuest® by Wyndham Vacation Rentals, has hosted the festival every year since its inception in 2006.

Presented annually by NRC Presents and local radio station KSMT "The Mountain," the Breckenridge Beer Festival has grown into one of the best beer festivals in Colorado. This year's festival promises beer samplings from 27 local and national breweries such as Alaskan Brewing Co., Oskar Blues Brewery, New Belgium Brewing and Breckenridge Brewery.

As the Official Lodging Sponsor of the Breckenridge Beer Festival, ResortQuest is offering discounted Tasting Mugs with a two-night stay in an eligible ResortQuest Breckenridge vacation rental. Admission to the festival is free, but an official Tasting Mug is required to sample the beer.

Another option is ResortQuest's discounted Unlimited Tasting tickets which include a $22 Tasting Cup, a plastic commemorative cup good for unlimited beer samples during the event, valued at $30. These discounted mug rates are available only with the purchase of lodging and must be reserved by Thursday, July 14. Rates are valid for stays that include July 16 and must be purchased at time of booking.

"Main Street Station — 'Where the Mountains Meet Main Street' — makes the perfect venue for events like the Breckenridge Beer Festival, and it's an ideal lodging choice for festivalgoers," said Katy Martin, Colorado regional marketing director, ResortQuest by Wyndham Vacation Rentals. "In the winter, you're just steps from the Quicksilver Super6 Chairlift at the base of Breckenridge Ski Resort's Peak 9. Then in summer, a host of live events and festivals are right outside your door in the Main Street Station Plaza."
