“Crazy Mountain Brewery is excited to partner with the Vail Valley Foundation on our locals’ favorite summer series Hot Summer Nights”, states Marisa Selvy Chief Marketing Officer of Crazy Mountain Brewing Company. “ We are happy to be able to take the sponsorship from Bud Light and bring local craft beer to the concert series located in our backyard.” Every August Crazy Mountain hosts a beer and music festival in our hometown called Ed Fest. It’s a celebration of craft beer, delicious food, great music and the outdoors lifestyle that brings us all together in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Crazy Mountain Brewery could not think of a better way to expand it’s involvement within the craft beer and music community then to partner with the Vail Valley Foundation for Crazy Mountain Brewery’s Hot Summer Nights.
For more than 25 years, the Vail Valley Foundation, with help from its generous sponsors, has played host to one of Vail’s greatest summer traditions for locals and guests alike, hosting free rock, reggae, bluegrass, hip hop and more at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater on Tuesday nights.
“We’re thrilled to join forces with Crazy Mountain Brewing Company for our Hot Summer Nights free concert series this year,” said Michael Imhof, Senior Vice President of Sales and Development for the Vail Valley Foundation. “Just as Hot Summer Nights is a long standing tradition in this Valley, so is Crazy Mountain, as our community’s first production brewery. The new ideas for how to make our series even better have us excited for this partnership, and we can’t wait for the kick-off of summer. We hope to see you all at the amphitheater starting June 9 for our series.”
