| Pearl Jam beer paired with Pearl Jam's music |
I look forward to it now every year, and somehow the Vail Big Beers Festival has already come and gone and it continues to be my very favoritist beer festival. Perhaps one of the most seductive parts of the festival is the night we all get to spend with Sam Calagione, founder of Dogfish Head. Each year he gives a presentation at the festival, last year he lead us on a visual journey of all the places he visited to create the brewery's set of historical ales, and this year we had more of a sensory experience as he led us through beer and music pairings. The event was relatively intimate, a large group sat in a small room complete with candles, bean bag chairs, and a large display of glassware and beer.
