"We created Beer Camp Across America to be a true national celebration of craft beer," said Sierra Nevada Founder & President, Ken Grossman. "As part of that, we brought our fellow brewers and friends who share our passion, admiration and bold approach to pushing brewing boundaries along for the ride."
