Organizers of the Big Beers, Belgians and Barleywines Festival have released the list of breweries that will attend the beer festival, which will be held at Vail Cascade Resort & Spa in Vail, Jan. 10-13. The initial lineup for this year's event includes 67 representing breweries and four importers, with 17 first-time attendees.

If you like beer and you’re looking for more than just a sampling event, this is one to put on your to-do list. Programming for the three-day educational event includes programs like the opening Calibration Dinner, the Traditional Brewmaster's Dinner, the experimental brewing seminar "Brewers Gone Wild," and CraftBeer.com's Beer & Food Pairing Taste-off.

Both dinners are five-course white tablecloth 'double' beer pairing dinners with commentary from the brewmasters and chefs. For a list of events, special guests, seminars and so forth, as well as ongoing updates as we get closer to the event date, go to www.bigbeersfestival.com.
