Details: Come and join us for the premier beer event of the winter, Destination:Beer 2023! This event will take place on February 24th and 25th in McCall, Idaho.

Friday Night Session: The Friday night session on February 24th will feature more than 20 Idaho breweries, plus an optional blind tasting for you to win prizes! Additional details will be announced soon. Pub snacks like pretzels, peanuts, and brats are included with your ticket, plus a commemorative tasting glass. Tickets for Friday are $45 per ticket (+ fees & taxes).

Saturday Afternoon Session: On Saturday, February 25th, attendees can expect to sample more than forty craft beers from more than twenty Idaho breweries, plus enjoy heavy appetizers focused on Idaho-sourced ingredients. The tap list will be released closer to the event date but there will be something for everyone! Many breweries will showcase a barrel-aged beer for the occasion and some even make a beer just for Destination:Beer. Dark, light, malty, hoppy - we promise, you can taste it all! Tickets for Saturday are $85 per ticket (+ fees & taxes).

Bottle Pull: The Bottle Pull will also take place on Saturday! For $10, you can draw a number then get to take home a bottle, crowler, or six-pack of the corresponding beer. What beer? You won't know until we draw, but we do guarantee you'll get your ten dollars worth! GREAT NEWS FANS: You can add on a bottle pull with your ticket, but we are limiting the quantity. Additional tokens will be available at the event.

FAQs for 2023

Will there be anything to drink besides beer? Meriwether Cider will have two ciders on tap, and Colter’s Creek Winery will be serving a selection of wines at the Saturday event.

What changes are you making to the event? We’re actively working on the layout and tent situation. We hope we can accomplish a large event footprint while also keeping everyone comfortable and warm(ish). We have also established an Event Code of Conduct. You can check it out here!

What should I wear for the event? This event is primarily outside…in February…in the Idaho mountains. We highly suggest warm footwear and layers. It could be snowing or it could be a bluebird day. We just don’t know but will keep an eye on the forecast and include additional information in our pre-event communications. Think layers (long underwear), thick socks, snow boots, hat, gloves, weather-resistant jacket, etc.

Will designated driver tickets be available? Due to the nature of the events, unlimited beer, and food, we have elected not to offer a designated driver option. When we did in prior years, people took advantage of the lower ticket price and simply drank anyway. Sorry, but the few ruin it for the many!

Can I bring my baby/toddler/tween/teen? No. The event is strictly 21+ with valid identification.

Can I bring my dog? Please leave all pets at home. Service animals are the only exception.

What if I am ill? Will there be any refunds? Please contact the Event Director for information regarding our refund policy. Sheila [at] IDBrewers [dot] org
