Remaining tickets can be purchased at the door for $25.<\/p>\n<p>Attendees will be given a commemorative tasting glass and unlimited tastings, Krichman said.<\/p>\n<p>Krichman described the event as something unique in the beer festival category, and a niche event that the resort felt needed to be filled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe consider this an intimate experience for the guests,\u201d Krichman said. \u201cSome festivals will have 2,000 plus people there, but this setup allows for a more relaxing and fun experience that everyone can enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 300 ticket limit means guests can focus on enjoying the beers instead of standing in lines or wading through crowds, Krichman said.<\/p>\n<p>Having 25 beers available to try as opposed to dozens also allows guests to focus on enjoying the individual beers, and not on racing to taste every single one before time runs out, Krichman said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe structure creates something relaxing and a little less wild than you might see in other festivals,\u201d Krichman said.<\/p>\n<p>The event will be family-oriented, Krichman said, and people are encouraged to bring their children to enjoy the music and ambiance of the resort.<\/p>\n<p>Liquor World owner Sherry Wertz said she has sponsored the event in the past and will continue to into the future because it encourages the community to come together.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just bringing people all together to try good beer and have fun,\u201d Wertz said. \u201cAnd there\u2019s no place better to have it than up at Purgatory.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"naviga-scoreboard\">\n<h4 class=\"scoreboard-title\">If you go<\/h4>\n<p>The Purgatory Summer Brew will be from 1:30 to 5 p.m. July 6 at the resort\u2019s ski beach.<br>\n                Tickets are available at www.purgatoryresort.com for $18 and at the door for $25.
