One of America�s most respected breweries continues to build camaraderie and friendship among brewers�� rather than the competition that befalls many industries�� with its Beer Camp series, a line of collaborative brews released as a variety pack every year.

Another big component of Sierra Nevada�s Beer Camp is Beer Camp on Tour,�an 8-city beer festival extravaganza coming to Austin this year on June 24. The California brewery is teaming up with the Texas Craft Brewers Guild to bring hundreds of craft beers to Carson Creek Ranch from both local and national breweries, with profits from the fest benefiting the guild and its mission of advancing the interests of the state�s small and independent brewers.

�Beer Camp showcases the art, spirit and attitude of craft beer, and everyone�s invited�� brewers and fans alike,� according to Sierra Nevada.

At Austin�s Beer Camp on Tour, you�ll be able to taste each of this year�s Beer Camp brews, created by Sierra Nevada and 12 collaborating breweries. These beers include the Dry-Hopped Berliner-Style Weisse made with Houston�s Saint Arnold Brewing and the East Meets West IPA made with Massachusetts� Tree House Brewing.

New this year, Sierra Nevada also collaborated with several international breweries, such as Ayinger Brewery and Duvel Moortgat.

In addition to those beers, Beer Camp on Tour has invited breweries from the state and beyond to pour at the festival. Taste suds from Lorelei Brewing in Corpus Christi, Absolution Brewing in California, Oak Highlands Brewery in Dallas and new Austin brewery Orf Brewing, as well as many more.

For Sierra Nevada, it was a no-brainer to select Austin as one of the cities for Beer Camp on Tour, �as one of the most social craft beer communities in the nation.�

Tickets for the festival, which starts at 5 p.m. on June 24, are on sale now and range from $40 (designated driver) to $75 (one-hour early access). There are also $55 general admission tickets. Beer Camp on Tour will have live music and food trucks in addition to plenty of brews.
