Beaver Creek Vacation Rental Blog

I love good Blues music (I tend to gravitate towards Stevie Ray Vaughn and Gary Moore).  I also brew my own Porter.  We currently make our primary home in North Carolina which facilitates some awesome BBQ.  We also spend as much of our spare time in Beaver Creek.  Mix all these things together, and what do you get?  I’m talking about the Blues, Brews and BBQ Festival in Beaver Creek!

May 23-24, 2009

Escape to Beaver Creek this Memorial Day weekend for great eats and musical treats at the annual Blues, Brews & BBQ festival. This fitting start to summer (and BBQ season) in the mountains features daily kids activities, cooking demonstrations, and three free Blues concerts featuring Big Daddy Lee & the King Bee’s, Otis Taylor and Mavis Staples!

Barbecue favorites will be prepared by top BBQ chefs from Kansas City, Des Moines, Iowa, Colorado and other locations nationwide. Meanwhile the Beaver Creek Park Hyatt Resort & Spa hosts the largest Colorado Microbrewery Beer Tasting in the state, featuring over 100 special concoctions from 35 Colorado-based breweries.
