Congratulations to Erin Cook, winner of the two-day tasting pass. Stay tuned, another giveaway coming up soon.

Bluegrass music is mountain music, and in August, those mountains will be the Rockies.

Then 15^th annual Keystone Bluegrass and Beer Festival takes place August 6-7 at the ski resort high in Summit County, Colorado. The Appalachian-style music will provide the soundtrack for two days of sampling some great craft beer while surrounded by majestic views of snow-capped peaks.

Named one of the Road Trips for Beer Top 10 Summer Beer Festivals 2011, the fest promises brews from more than 30 breweries from Colorado and beyond, not to mention plenty of great food and music. The Keystone Bluegrass and Beer Festival also lays claim to being one of the few in the country advertised as “family friendly,” with inflatables, magic shows, face painting and other such activities at its KidZone. And if you do not want to sample the beer, admission to the festival is free! (But continue reading to find out how you can win a beer sampling pass to both days).

The resort offers a plethora of summertime activities for road trippers who want to make it a long weekend: mountain biking, river rafting, hiking excursion and more.

Lodging discounts are available right on the resort property, too. You can stay one night and get a one-day beer glass pass for only $87 per person, or stay two nights and sample beer both days for $173 per person. Click on this link for details.

Prices for a sampling glass for unlimited tastings are $40 for one day of the fest, and $75 for two days. Those prices are for either online purchases or at the gate, but the organizers of the festival have given Road Trips for Beer a two-day tasting pass to give away to a lucky reader.

All you need to do to enter is leave a comment below that names the bluegrass band you’re most looking forward to hearing at the festival (listed here)  or, if you aren’t a bluegrass fan, tell us your favorite craft beer from Colorado.

But wait! There’s more!
