Beer lovers unite at the “Beering Arizona” virtual beer festival

The Arizona Craft Brewers Guild is bringing together craft beer lovers with “Beering Arizona,” a virtual beer festival from 2 – 6 p.m. on Saturday, September 19.

This year, it’s been easy to feel disconnected from the craft beer community. Many have not been able to visit their favorite taprooms across the state, and the newer breweries haven’t been able to spread the word about their beer lineups.

Well, Beering Arizona hopes to fix that.

The virtual beer festival is a “one day, choose your own adventure beer festival” that was created to support independent Arizona craft breweries.

The available packages include a commemorative Beering Arizona t-shirt or tank top, an insulated cooler swag bag full of brewery merchandise, and special Beering Arizona deals from your favorite local breweries.

More about Matt

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
