Existing

5
1b. Please describe the location(s) of the event or program in previous years.
In the past we have utilized several venues including Vail Village, Solaris Plaza, Eagles Nest or Mid Vail, as well as various
restaurant and hotel partners in town.
In 2020 we activated the lawn space near Ford Park Sculpture Garden. We are ready to adapt in 2021 to the venues that are
appropriate for the public health orders at that time.
2. Please provide a detailed description of the event/program and its activities.
Friday & Saturday - Toast of Vail Grand Tasting
40+ breweries from across the country sampling. Limited snack/food options. Live music. 6+ session times.
If we are able, we'd like to bring back some of the more intimate tastings with our restaurant and hotel partners, or on Mountain.
If we aren't able to activate that we can pivot to tap takeovers and specialty tastings to drive traffic to those locations.
3. Please list the specific venues that you plan to utilize, including dates and times, and whether or not you have
contacted them to confirm availability. The Event Producer is responsible for booking and securing any necessary
venues.
We have been holding on venue space to hear if we should continue to produce the event in the park near Ford Park Sculpture
Garden. That was a wonderful venue that we'd like to continue working in.
4. Do you plan to use Vail Recreation District Facilities?
No
5. If any of the event/program takes place outside of the Town of Vail, please explain where the event will take
place and why.
None
ENVIRONMENTAL PRACTICES
1. Which of these environmental practices will you commit to executing at your event/program?
Use of Zero Hero Tents & staffing, Use of recyclable materials - banners, paper, etc., Ban use of plastic bags, Remind guests to
bring re-usable bags and water bottles, Encourage use of bicycles, buses, shuttles, carpools, walking or public transit to event,
Enforce no idling policy for staff and guests, Recycling required in all areas of event, Wastewater will be properly disposed of, Use
eco-friendly serving utensils (compostable or recyclable), Ban styrofoam, not allowed within town limits, Compost food waste
2. Please describe your commitment to environmental sustainability and detail measures that will be taken during
your event to ensure minimal environmental impact and sustainable best practices.
Team Player Productions is committed to producing events sustainably and taking every measure to be environmentally friendly.
We have executed the following measures for the Vail Craft Beer Classic in previous years and plan to continue these practices:
- Walking Mountains Science Center for trash, recycling and compost
- No printed festival handouts
- Banners with stickers for dates to ensure they're reusable for years to come
- Reusable signage across multiple "Classic" events
- No disposable table linens
- Encourage kegs to reduce waste
- Reusable tasting mugs, leftovers were collected and washed to be used next year
In the current pandemic situation, we face a few challenges that walk the line between sustainability and public health. We
needed to switch to single use cups to minimize contact. We were able to use 100% compostable cups, but would like to make the
switch back to reusable cups when it is deemed safe enough to do so. We usually use fabric linens for all events, but had to
switch 10-20 to plastic so that they could be sanitized between sessions. We plan to closely monitor the public health situation, as
always, to keep our guests safe and be as environmentally friendly as possible.

50

600
2. Estimate the number of destination guests from outside Colorado your event/program will bring to Vail
400
3. Estimate the number of international guests your event/program will bring to Vail
0
4. How will your event/program increase sales tax in Vail?
By increasing attendance and overnight visitors we will drive our patrons to Vail hotels, restaurants and shopping in Vail Village
and Lionshead. Our post event surveys indicated that our guests generated an additional $189k during their stay.
We had several parties who purchased tickets to both days of programming to extend their stay.
5. CRC - Brand Fit: How will your event support the mission and vision of the Vail Town Council?
Our goal is to create a unique and elevated beer experience that is not being achieved at any other beer festival. The Classic
works with only premium craft beer brands and features outdoor adventures, education, food pairings and knowledgeable
experts. We make it a priority to align ourselves with the Vail Mountain, local restaurants and outfitters to create an intimate
event that shows off our partners in an untraditional way.
6. CRC - Brand Fit: How will your event or program support the Vail brand identity?
This event historically attracts Active Professionals and Boomers. Colorado is known for it's beer scene and Vail is known for fine
dining and outdoor adventures. This event highlights all of those elements, producing an elevated beer experience that isn't
happening at other standard beer festivals.
7. CRC - Event Timing: How is it the right event/program at the right time?
Historically this is a slower weekend between GoPro Mountain Games and 4th of July. The Classic is looking to build up this
weekend for years to come.
8. CRC - Community Enrichment: How will your event/program attract target markets of both visitors and
community members?
• Aligning with local business partners locally including West Vail Liquors, Vail Resorts, and several restaurant and lodging
partners in Vail Village, Lionshead and the greater Vail Valley.
• Utilizing the Vail Valley Mountain Bike Association as our nonprofit to support not only a local organization but see it impact
change in the surrounding area for thousands of people to enjoy.
• Establishing Vail as a craft beer and outdoor recreation hub that people will visit and enjoy all year.
• We want to create events in communities that become a tradition and bring people together annually.
9. CRC - Growth Potential: How will the event/program deliver fresh content? (Fresh content means new
programming, entertainers, adding additional days and activities.)
Each year we have been able to dial in our programming to fit the interests of our demographics. These change a bit with the
pandemic situation, but we are committed to being fluid during this time. If we are able we will add seminars (paired lunches)
back into our schedule as well as Grand Tastings in other parts of Vail.
Each year we feature different breweries, ciders and spirits along with bands and speakers.
10. CRC - Growth Potential: How will the event/program promote an atmosphere of vitality, fun and celebration?
In our 5th year we have built a following for this event and people have made it an annual tradition to celebrate with us in Vail.
Guests and Brewers alike enjoy our event over other beer festivals for the interaction and atmosphere. We have engaged guests
and excited vendors who are all happy to converge together in Vail.
11. CRC - Marketing Strength: What is the marketing reach for the event/program? You will be asked more
marketing questions in a future section. (Reach refers to the total number of different people or households
exposed, at least once, to a medium during a given period.)
In 2020 our media reach was over 21,826,895 impressions in PR alone. We estimate other paid marketing efforts to include over
2,469,848 impressions.
12. CRC - Marketing Strength: What is the potential for the event/program to leverage media exposure and attract
sponsorship support?
We can certainly leverage media as we are currently only one of a handful of events running during the pandemic and have shown
some amount of success doing it.
As for sponsorships, larger companies are still pulling back on sponsorships as they don't want to be associated with an event
during a pandemic and thus any potential liability fallout. Some smaller companies are wanting to support and fill those gaps left
by the larger companies however the sponsorship levels are much smaller. With the reduced numbers permitted by the public
health order, it's also harder to draw in the larger dollars as we may not reach that larger audience that companies are seeking.
That being said, at the beginning of 2020 we had over $23k in sponsorship for VCBC. We were able to recoup $13k for the final
version of the event and will continue to provide intimate experiences for these brands to get in front of their audience for
memorable interactions.
13. CRC - Producer Qualifications: Explain the event/program producer’s quality, knowledge and resources to
sustain and grow the event.
TPP has over 24 years of event experience. We have produced over 500 events from Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon, raising
over 1.5 million dollars for our non-profit partners. From concept to creation, we’ve built wine festivals, beer festivals, food
festivals, athletic events and music festivals. We build successful, engaging, memorable experiences that keep our guests and
partners coming back year after year.
13. CRC - Producer Qualifications: Explain the adaptability of the event and the event producer to adjust to
changing public health orders.
Team Player Productions has a history of producing events for a wide range of audience sizes and interests. From paired lunches
for 30, to free concerts over 40,000, we are flexible to the needs and goals of each of our events.
In 2020 we were able to successfully complete two events with 175 person sessions under the current public health order. With 5
sessions for the weekend we brought over 875 people to Vail, not including vendors/suppliers. While in "normal" times, events like
these could attract over 1000-1500 people, we were quite proud of what we were able to accomplish. This event model is quite
scalable to the future public health orders. Being cognizant of social distancing, these events could continue to be produced with
sessions of 175-300. We have also discussed multiple sessions running at once in separate venues to double capacity instantly.
We adapted almost every aspect of the events to keep people as safe as possible and go above and beyond requirements. This
included our spacing, entry policies, sanitation practices, tent/rental placement, scanning tickets and ID check, sampling, and
event layout. We consulted Eagle County Public Health every step of the way to confirm our communications and practices were
aligned with what they would expect.
Team Player Productions is in this for the long haul of recovery and our team will continue to be creative and innovative during
this time. TPP was the only event producers in the state to execute multiple tasting festivals successfully at over 1500 people
cumulatively. We learned that these more intimate events were so well received that this may be a more consistent model
moving forward.

The Town of Vail and Intercept Insight designed a core set of questions intended to meet the
objectives of the study, including event specific questions. Once the survey was approved, the
questions were programmed into an online survey design tool.

It is important to remember that this is a tool for gathering opinions and feedback. Many of the results are presented in terms of percentages.
Intercept Insight, LLC encourages readers to consider the overall direction that is suggested rather than only the statistics. Note that the margin of
error is different for every single question response on the survey depending on the sample sizes, proportion of responses, and number of answer
categories for each question. As a general comment, it is sometimes more appropriate to focus attention on the general trends and patterns in the
data rather than on the individual percentages.

execution, survey development, programming, analysis, and reporting. There were 662 ticket holders over the course of the event. On average, the
ticket holders attended approximately 1.1 days, which identifies that there were approximately 651 unique individuals that attended the event. 121

Recommendation
Recommendation
The Net Promoter Score is calculated using data collected from the following question: “On a scale
of 0 to 10, where 0=Not at all likely and 10=Extremely likely, how likely are you to recommend the Vail
Craft Beer Classic to a friend or family member?”.
Those who rate a ‘9’ or ‘10’ are called “Promoters”. Those who rate a ‘7’ or ‘8’ are called “Passive
Supporters”, and those who rate ‘0’ to ‘6’ are called “Detractors”.
The Net Promoter Score (NPS) is calculated by subtracting the percentage of “Detractors” from the
percentage of “Promoters”.

Vail Craft Beer Classic -Increase Recommendation
•Session times need to be longer. 90mins wasn’t even close to enough time
•Repeat venue and format for event. Recommend an altered experience to define VIP night from Saturday
•Reduce the price
•Provide shade and seating, better music and food.
•Once the restrictions have been lifted with COVID and the times aren't as short
•Offer Food!
•My 3 friends and I didn't pay $49 a piece for 90 minutes. We got there "late" because there was no indication that this was a timed
event. We had 30 minutes to "enjoy" ourselves -guzzling down what we had the last 10 minutes. It didn't ruin our day, but we wi ll
never come to this event again nor recommend it to anyone. 100% rip off. Thank you, and good luck.
•More vendors, adding food trucks would be a nice touch as well
•More time
•More options. The beer options were limited as well as non-beer options. Very small event not worth the cost.
•More beer, less seltzer and some shade. It was so hot!!
•Make it last 3 hours or longer.
•Longer event times
•Less expensive
•I think that an hour and half was too short of a time for a beer fest. We felt rushed to try samples.
•I know this year was an exception but and hour and a half was NOT Nearly enough time we hardly got to see all the vendors, le t alone
go back and try another beer from the same vendors
•I felt very safe especially during COVID times, I wish there was an area with shade and more tables. Also, it would have been nice to
incorporate some food options to either pay or tent.
•I did not realize that the session was for 90 min. I arrived late thinking I had plenty of time. No one warned me or offered me the ability
to enter in the second session. I was really excited to go and it turned out as a bust for me and my guests.
•I attend a lot of beer festivals especially here in Boulder (Winter Beer Fest) for $40-$45 for 4 hours. I felt the event was too short, and
after attending a few beer tents the event was over. So I would not attend this event again unless it was at least 3 -4 hours.
•Hold it later in the day like 5pm (Too hot) and make it 2 hours.
•Have some time after event just to sit/relax not told to leave immediately
•Had 4 in our party. Only allowed to buy one ticket. Can I get a refund?
•Friendlier event staff and security. Longer sampling time allotment .
•Better snack option at check in, needed a little more sustenance than a pack of meat sticks
•Better singers in the band -kind of pitchy -Maybe have German style dress with steins

The Customer Delight Principle was designed to identify shortcomings within a business and to improve satisfaction. Satisfac tion can be
measured along a continuum and can be broken out into three major points:
•Discontentment –customers needs are simply not being met.
•Merely Satisfied –meeting customers needs, but not doing enough to distinguish among competition.
•Delighted –meeting and exceeding the customers needs and expectations

•You guys did a great job under the circumstances
•We had to refund a couple of tickets and Kristen was over the top amazing!! Thank you for a fantastic event!
•We asked to sit in a shaded area within perimeters and staff said no, that all patrons must “congregate” together. Made no sense. Event should be held later in the
day because of heat (or have tent set up for seating), better band, Food truck, And should be a min of 2 hours for the price.
•This is specific only to me, the musicians were good, I just don't like that style of music. So, something different, or perh aps having a variety of music would be
great.
•The sessions were not long enough
•The overall layout was a little confusing at first, but as things filled in it made more sense. One suggestion, maybe more signage.
•The event was awesome!
•Shade!
•Provide some shade somehow.
•Provide shade! Only complaint was it was very hot and no shade options.
•Provide shade for patrons
•Play music we can hear. Why not use the stage? There was just a couple of instruments paying in the middle of the event could barely hear.
•Offer Shade Tents
•Offer food
•Nothing. It was great.
•Nothing really strikes me as an area that could be improved. I enjoyed it very much just as it was.
•Nothing it was great
•Not sure anything, really enjoyed it.
•Not really, we had a great time!!
•NO, WE HAD A GREAT TIME!
•My husband and I were impressed with the multiple actions taken to promote the health and safety of the participants.
•More time
•More snacks
•More snack or merch vendors
•More shade and more breweries/vendors. Longer run time, 2 hour minimum
•More selection
•More music
•More clear directions on where to park and access the event
•More breweries (and if so, longer tasting periods) but loved the format.
•More beer vendors
•Mid mountain location.

•Make the time allotment longer or the price cheaper or just make it longer
•Make the sessions longer
•Make sure the band is at the stage all night so we can hear -otherwise, it was wonderful! Great job!
•Make it two hours long instead of 90 mins!
•Make it less expensive
•Make it clear up front that you only have 90 minutes. I watched everyone around me get upset when the staff notified them that they had to leave. No one attending the
event appeared to know that they only had 90 min.
•Make it a full four hour event, the way it was advertised. Marketing is incredibly misleading. "Minimal snacks provided" means some jerky in a bag. Incredibly misleading
if not outright stingy. How many people were alienated by this utter lack of transparency? I can spend $50 in a night and get way more bang for the buck. Never again.
•Lower the price
•Longer times to hang out and drink.
•Longer time!! It was so fun!!
•Longer time slots
•Longer then 90 mins
•Longer sessions!
•Longer sessions
•Longer session
•Longer event time
•Longer duration, less non alcoholic options.
•Lengthen the tasting time
•Lengthen the event to at least 3-4 hours. As mentioned, I attend Winter and summer beer fests here in boulder for longer periods and for less money and also not
needing to pay for a hotel.
•Keep up the great work!
•Keep this years format. However VIP night should be enhanced or at least differ in vendors from the Saturday event
•Keep it socially distanced and/or lower attendance numbers.
•It would be great to make the time slots 2 hours instead of 1-1/2 hours. It felt a little rushed and could have been a lot more relaxing with a little more time.
•It was well done! Maybe a good vendor?
•It was great so as of now nothing
•It was fabulous, I would only suggest breweries try to bring more experimental / true small batch beers vs. their more flagship'ish beers.
•Include some food vendors
•If the tickets stay it ends at 8:30pm, don’t cut people off at 8:10pm. Also, don’t let the staff clear tables when people are obviously still occupying their tables and drinking
their beer.
•If still socially distanced, consider longer windows of time.
•I would recommend extending the event maybe an hour to give everyone to try and find a new favorite beer. We managed to visit all of the vendors, but it was close.
•I understand the limitations this year due to COVID, however I think even an extra half hour (two hour sessions) would have given us more of an opportunity to sample
more of the beer selections available.

•I thought the staff did a great job hosting a safe fun event
•I think, all things considered with COVID, this was awesome. I wish we had more than an hour and a half (especially for the price) but other than that we had a great
time. Wanted to stay longer!
•I missed the food vendors.
•I loved the social distancing version of event better.
•Have tents set up for shade.
•Have music all miked, the acoustic looked good but you couldn't hear it. more creative snack pack for patrons.
•Have more strategically placed buckets for disposing liquid you don't won't to consume. ;)
•Given the Pandemic, I'm not sure this is helpful feedback, but the grass was a little wet which made sitting down a little uncomfortable.
•Given COVID it was understandable, but would very much like to see a lot more breweries participating.
•Food, more tables, shade
•Food trucks!
•Food trucks or less restrictive time schedule would have been cool but it was a great event!
•Food trucks and vendors hand out stickers
•Food carts
•Food
•Food
•Extend the time.
•Everything was great!
•Everything was great, can't think of anything.
•Even though this year was socially distant, it worked. Please keep this format
•Due to Covid and the limited time 1 1/2 wasn’t the quite long enough 2 hours would be better but awesome job!
•Don’t change
•Better signage from parking
•Answer your phone calls or refund the one ticket you allowed me to purchase -needed 4 tickets so we did not attend but you took my money on the one ticket
•An extra 30 minutes please
•Added shade
•Add some more food
•Add more vendors and add food
•Add food or more snacks
•A few chairs
•A bit pricy, maybe some shade
•2 issues: I am in a wheelchair and the grass is tough. It worked out-I turned my friends into my beer runners. Second-We did have one person in our party that was
not feeling well so we had them stay at home. No one at the event could provide direction to obtain a possible refund for that ticket.

mask and social distancing seems to make people feel more comfortable

It is important to remember that this is a tool for gathering opinions and feedback. Many of the results are presented in terms of percentages.
Intercept Insight, LLC encourages readers to consider the overall direction that is suggested rather than only the statistics. Note that the margin of

categories for each question. As a general comment, it is sometimes more appropriate to focus attention on the general trends and patterns in the

Recommendation
Recommendation
The Net Promoter Score is calculated using data collected from the following question: “On a scale
of 0 to 10, where 0=Not at all likely and 10=Extremely likely, how likely are you to recommend the Vail
Craft Beer Classic to a friend or family member?”.
Those who rate a ‘9’ or ‘10’ are called “Promoters”. Those who rate a ‘7’ or ‘8’ are called “Passive
Supporters”, and those who rate ‘0’ to ‘6’ are called “Detractors”.
The Net Promoter Score (NPS) is calculated by subtracting the percentage of “Detractors” from the
percentage of “Promoters”.

Vail Craft Beer Classic -Increase Recommendation
•Session times need to be longer. 90mins wasn’t even close to enough time
•Repeat venue and format for event. Recommend an altered experience to define VIP night from Saturday
•Reduce the price
•Provide shade and seating, better music and food.
•Once the restrictions have been lifted with COVID and the times aren't as short
•Offer Food!
•My 3 friends and I didn't pay $49 a piece for 90 minutes. We got there "late" because there was no indication that this was a timed
event. We had 30 minutes to "enjoy" ourselves -guzzling down what we had the last 10 minutes. It didn't ruin our day, but we wi ll
never come to this event again nor recommend it to anyone. 100% rip off. Thank you, and good luck.
•More vendors, adding food trucks would be a nice touch as well
•More time
•More options. The beer options were limited as well as non-beer options. Very small event not worth the cost.
•More beer, less seltzer and some shade. It was so hot!!
•Make it last 3 hours or longer.
•Longer event times
•Less expensive
•I think that an hour and half was too short of a time for a beer fest. We felt rushed to try samples.
•I know this year was an exception but and hour and a half was NOT Nearly enough time we hardly got to see all the vendors, le t alone
go back and try another beer from the same vendors
•I felt very safe especially during COVID times, I wish there was an area with shade and more tables. Also, it would have been nice to
incorporate some food options to either pay or tent.
•I did not realize that the session was for 90 min. I arrived late thinking I had plenty of time. No one warned me or offered me the ability
to enter in the second session. I was really excited to go and it turned out as a bust for me and my guests.
•I attend a lot of beer festivals especially here in Boulder (Winter Beer Fest) for $40-$45 for 4 hours. I felt the event was too short, and
after attending a few beer tents the event was over. So I would not attend this event again unless it was at least 3 -4 hours.
•Hold it later in the day like 5pm (Too hot) and make it 2 hours.
•Have some time after event just to sit/relax not told to leave immediately
•Had 4 in our party. Only allowed to buy one ticket. Can I get a refund?
•Friendlier event staff and security. Longer sampling time allotment .
•Better snack option at check in, needed a little more sustenance than a pack of meat sticks
•Better singers in the band -kind of pitchy -Maybe have German style dress with steins

The Customer Delight Principle was designed to identify shortcomings within a business and to improve satisfaction. Satisfac tion can be
measured along a continuum and can be broken out into three major points:
•Discontentment –customers needs are simply not being met.
•Merely Satisfied –meeting customers needs, but not doing enough to distinguish among competition.
•Delighted –meeting and exceeding the customers needs and expectations

•You guys did a great job under the circumstances
•We had to refund a couple of tickets and Kristen was over the top amazing!! Thank you for a fantastic event!
•We asked to sit in a shaded area within perimeters and staff said no, that all patrons must “congregate” together. Made no sense. Event should be held later in the
day because of heat (or have tent set up for seating), better band, Food truck, And should be a min of 2 hours for the price.
•This is specific only to me, the musicians were good, I just don't like that style of music. So, something different, or perh aps having a variety of music would be
great.
•The sessions were not long enough
•The overall layout was a little confusing at first, but as things filled in it made more sense. One suggestion, maybe more signage.
•The event was awesome!
•Shade!
•Provide some shade somehow.
•Provide shade! Only complaint was it was very hot and no shade options.
•Provide shade for patrons
•Play music we can hear. Why not use the stage? There was just a couple of instruments paying in the middle of the event could barely hear.
•Offer Shade Tents
•Offer food
•Nothing. It was great.
•Nothing really strikes me as an area that could be improved. I enjoyed it very much just as it was.
•Nothing it was great
•Not sure anything, really enjoyed it.
•Not really, we had a great time!!
•NO, WE HAD A GREAT TIME!
•My husband and I were impressed with the multiple actions taken to promote the health and safety of the participants.
•More time
•More snacks
•More snack or merch vendors
•More shade and more breweries/vendors. Longer run time, 2 hour minimum
•More selection
•More music
•More clear directions on where to park and access the event
•More breweries (and if so, longer tasting periods) but loved the format.
•More beer vendors
•Mid mountain location.

•Make the time allotment longer or the price cheaper or just make it longer
•Make the sessions longer
•Make sure the band is at the stage all night so we can hear -otherwise, it was wonderful! Great job!
•Make it two hours long instead of 90 mins!
•Make it less expensive
•Make it clear up front that you only have 90 minutes. I watched everyone around me get upset when the staff notified them that they had to leave. No one attending the
event appeared to know that they only had 90 min.
•Make it a full four hour event, the way it was advertised. Marketing is incredibly misleading. "Minimal snacks provided" means some jerky in a bag. Incredibly misleading
if not outright stingy. How many people were alienated by this utter lack of transparency? I can spend $50 in a night and get way more bang for the buck. Never again.
•Lower the price
•Longer times to hang out and drink.
•Longer time!! It was so fun!!
•Longer time slots
•Longer then 90 mins
•Longer sessions!
•Longer sessions
•Longer session
•Longer event time
•Longer duration, less non alcoholic options.
•Lengthen the tasting time
•Lengthen the event to at least 3-4 hours. As mentioned, I attend Winter and summer beer fests here in boulder for longer periods and for less money and also not
needing to pay for a hotel.
•Keep up the great work!
•Keep this years format. However VIP night should be enhanced or at least differ in vendors from the Saturday event
•Keep it socially distanced and/or lower attendance numbers.
•It would be great to make the time slots 2 hours instead of 1-1/2 hours. It felt a little rushed and could have been a lot more relaxing with a little more time.
•It was well done! Maybe a good vendor?
•It was great so as of now nothing
•It was fabulous, I would only suggest breweries try to bring more experimental / true small batch beers vs. their more flagship'ish beers.
•Include some food vendors
•If the tickets stay it ends at 8:30pm, don’t cut people off at 8:10pm. Also, don’t let the staff clear tables when people are obviously still occupying their tables and drinking
their beer.
•If still socially distanced, consider longer windows of time.
•I would recommend extending the event maybe an hour to give everyone to try and find a new favorite beer. We managed to visit all of the vendors, but it was close.
•I understand the limitations this year due to COVID, however I think even an extra half hour (two hour sessions) would have given us more of an opportunity to sample
more of the beer selections available.

•I thought the staff did a great job hosting a safe fun event
•I think, all things considered with COVID, this was awesome. I wish we had more than an hour and a half (especially for the price) but other than that we had a great
time. Wanted to stay longer!
•I missed the food vendors.
•I loved the social distancing version of event better.
•Have tents set up for shade.
•Have music all miked, the acoustic looked good but you couldn't hear it. more creative snack pack for patrons.
•Have more strategically placed buckets for disposing liquid you don't won't to consume. ;)
•Given the Pandemic, I'm not sure this is helpful feedback, but the grass was a little wet which made sitting down a little uncomfortable.
•Given COVID it was understandable, but would very much like to see a lot more breweries participating.
•Food, more tables, shade
•Food trucks!
•Food trucks or less restrictive time schedule would have been cool but it was a great event!
•Food trucks and vendors hand out stickers
•Food carts
•Food
•Food
•Extend the time.
•Everything was great!
•Everything was great, can't think of anything.
•Even though this year was socially distant, it worked. Please keep this format
•Due to Covid and the limited time 1 1/2 wasn’t the quite long enough 2 hours would be better but awesome job!
•Don’t change
•Better signage from parking
•Answer your phone calls or refund the one ticket you allowed me to purchase -needed 4 tickets so we did not attend but you took my money on the one ticket
•An extra 30 minutes please
•Added shade
•Add some more food
•Add more vendors and add food
•Add food or more snacks
•A few chairs
•A bit pricy, maybe some shade
•2 issues: I am in a wheelchair and the grass is tough. It worked out-I turned my friends into my beer runners. Second-We did have one person in our party that was
not feeling well so we had them stay at home. No one at the event could provide direction to obtain a possible refund for that ticket.

Vail Craft Beer Classic -Protocols Which Made Respondent MOST Comfortable
•Widely spaced pods for the tasting
•While we don't really know what works and what doesn't work -wearing a
mask and social distancing seems to make people feel more comfortable
•When I say COVID 19 was very important, that is to say because of COVID 19
I WANT to get out to events. I am tired of everything being cancelled and
glad this event took place. At last, something approaching normal. I felt all

Vail Craft Beer Classic -Protocols Which Made Respondent LEAST Comfortable

enacted. Nothing made us uncomfortable.

•Waiting in the lines
•Waiting in the check in line (not a big issue)
•Unsure where there was a "mask zone" other than pretenses?
•Unfortunately people walked through our pod on a regular basis. Additional
separation would have been helpful.
•Those no wearing masks or wearing them improperly
•There wasn't a lot of room for people to line up at each tent without spilling into the
tabled areas

would have stayed home.
