This Friday (July 23) is the 4th annual Denver Summer Brew Fest. It’s at Mile High Station, and should be an awesome time. There’s about 35 breweries there, music, and even a VIP early entrance that includes a beer and cheese pairing.
Some other cool stuff of note.. If you ride your bike there, you get $5 off the ticket price. Of course that means buying at the door, and it could sell out. It’s limited to 1500 people.
It looks like some awesome breweries are gonna be there (see list below), including the 3 I brewed at a few weeks ago (Strange, Mountain Sun and New Belgium). There’s a bunch I’ve never heard of or haven’t had the opportunity to try, such as Abita and Anderson Valley. Most are in state, but a few have traveled (Stone) far (Alaskan) for us.
I went to the Winter Brew Fest (same group puts it on, but it’s in the winter. Crazy, I know) and it was a blast.
I’m going. See you there?

Because I can’t be there, I see this list of breweries as simply a tease LOL!
But I’ll have to retweet this for you. If anyone is out there and can make it, this is going to be great.
Let us know how it goes ok?!?! And take some pictures if you can!
P.S. Riding your bike would so not fly in Texas…outside of Austin of course
