The little guys will show big beer business how its done at the inaugural AmeriCAN Canned Craft Beer Festival. Whole Foods and San Tan Brewing have teamed up to sponsor a gathering of private brewers who understand that good beer doesnt have to come in a bottle or on tap. Local vendors will include San Tan, Four Peaks, Mogollon, and Grand Canyon Brewing. Dozens of others will be there, along with swing band Royal Crown Revue, a beer science garden for the fermented intellectual, and nibbles to help soak up the beer.
