A Beer-y Special Day in Arizona

By Mercie Hallow

Beer is always associated as a mans drink. It is sometimes considered as the drink of a real macho. Beer is the third most popular drink next from water and tea. Beer commercials often feature a guy with a beautiful lady companion and a nice car as if giving the message that beer is the drink of a real man. Beers have light to hard tangy flavor and are great to match with pizza or nuts. Beer is produced all over the world which basic ingredient is water.

Beers are manufactured in a manufacturing plant called brewery. They are processed through brewing where the two main ingredients (water and malt) are mixed together in a huge machine. The starch in the mixture is then broken down to sugar and transformed to an alcoholic drink through fermentation process with the help of yeast.

Beer festivals are events that people especially fun loving individuals would not want to miss. It showcases beer vendors, a beer tasting portion, live bands, great music and bazaars. Beer festivals have rules and regulations that should be properly observed. Only adults over the age of 21 years are allowed to enter the park grounds. An ID is often required upon entrance to know if a participant is legible to join the event. Pets and firearms are discouraged inside the event also.

Attendees who are intoxicated prior to the event are not encouraged to enter the festival grounds. The Great Arizona Beer Festival is a fundraising festival for the benefit of the Sun Sounds of Arizona. Sun Sounds of Arizona is a public media arm of the state which is a radio that distributes information for sight challenged people. It features different present information that could bring about the welfare of these kinds of people.

The Great Arizona Beer Festival is also kind to the attendees drivers who do not drink because they need to drive their companion home safely. To boost their morale (while perhaps waiting while everyone else is drinking and having fun) a special drivers place is allocated for them. Equally exciting activities can be found in this area where a live band, food kiosks and interesting activities can also be done.
