Tanque Verde Ranch is hosting their fourth annual Boots n Brews Craft Beer and Culinary Weekend from Friday, January 31 – Sunday, February 2.
From the beginning, Boots n Brews was created to spread the word about craft beers in the area, feature culinary pairings, and show off the extraordinary views at the ranch. Each day will be filled with different activities and separate opportunities to try what the local breweries and cuisine have to offer.
This is a huge weekend of events including beer tastings, horseback riding, a cowboy cookout dinner, Wyatt Earp Texas Hold’em, live music, and more. You’ve got a couple options, too, depending on what kind of experience you’d like to have at the ranch.
You have options, too — a day pass or weekend package
Like the previous years, there is a tickets for the one-day pass are $55 a person, and are only valid for events happening on Saturday. Each ticket includes beer tastings, live music, and the dinner buffet.
VIP Tickets are also available for $65 per person and include beer tastings, live music, dinner, a t-shirt, beer mug, bag, and accessories.
However, if you feel like staying the night or multiple nights at the ranch, they’ve got rooms starting at $200 per person, which gives you access to multiple things happening on all three days.

More about MattAt 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.
