Craft beer is an integral part of the Denver lifestyle. There are now more than 70 breweries in the city, and well over 100 in the metro area; and beer-centric events draw sizeable crowds to The Mile High City. Last year, Great American Beer Festival alone had an economic impact of $35.4 million.
“We created Denver Beer Fest nine years ago because we noticed all of these fantastic events taking place throughout the city leading up to Great American Beer Festival, but no efficient way of finding them,” says Richard Scharf, president and CEO of VISIT DENVER, The Convention & Visitors Bureau. “When we realized how significant the beer culture was becoming, even then, we wanted to take the opportunity to highlight some of the incredibly creative, collaborative things people were doing throughout the city to elevate our beer scene.”
At the official kickoff event, VISIT DENVER also unveiled the fifth annual Denver Beer Trail, which features 35 local breweries – all great ways to experience Denver’s booming brewery scene. “The Denver Beer Trail serves a similar purpose as Denver Beer Fest,” says Scharf. “By providing a useful guide for people, they are able to have a better experience and really get to know a lot of Denver’s craft beer culture.”
Below is a small selection of events taking place around the city during Denver Beer Fest; a full listing of the more than 260 events, along with hotel deals, can be found on the Denver Beer Fest website.
