Denver Beer Fest Dates Announced, Will Coincide With Great American Beer Fest

It's The Most ... Wonderful Time ... Of The Year

Visit Denver announced Friday that the third annual Denver Beer Fest will take place from Sept. 23 through Oct. 1 of this year. The event will coincide with the Great American Beer Festival (GABF) Sept. 29-Oct 1.

Events will include beer tastings, beer-paired dinners, "brewer vs. brewer" nights, and brewery tours. Those hosting Denver-centric beer events during the festival will be able to list them on the event website free of charge.

"I think the Colorado lifestyle, which embraces true quality of life, is a major factor in the adoption of craft beer enjoyment," said Todd Usry, Brewmaster and General Manager at Breckenridge Brewery. "Our Colorado consumers are ... willing to experiment and to share with friends. The fun-loving, open-minded, quality-seeking folks who live in this state created the environment for so many breweries to succeed here."

The GABF currently holds the Guinness World Records title as the largest beer festival on the planet, playing host to 2,400 different beers in 2010, and averaging around 50,000 attendees each year.
