The 5th Annual Snowmass Chili Pepper & Brew Fest, held Friday through Sunday, June 6-8, 2008, is one of the hottest events of the summer. Last year’s Chili Pepper & Brew Fest kicked off the Aspen/Snowmass season with a bang, hosting over 35 Breweries from around the country in breathtaking Snowmass Village, Colorado.
Guests from Colorado and surrounding states will head to Snowmass again this June for International Chili Society (ICS)-Sanctioned and Locals’ Chili and Home Brew competitions. A Vendor Village will offer chili pepper-themed merchandise and foods for sale. Each day delivers live concerts … past popular performers include Ziggy Marley, David Grisman Quintet, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Jonny Lang and more. This year’s line-up is off to a tremendous start with the venerable Dr. John and legends The Neville Brothers headlining on Saturday evening.
But one of the biggest highlights of the event is always the Brew Fest!
