For those of use that can't make it to the Great American Beer Festival, there are many other beer opportunities out there that weekend (Sept 17-19).
1. Oktoberfest Denver - Sept 17, 18, and 19. Dress up in you lederhosen and get drinking! This is the closest to the action you're going to get and entry is free. There's more than just beer too, there's the Das Husselhoff 5k, a Long Dog Derby, and vendors with your favorite German foods. This is probably where I'll be going if I can't get the tickets to the GABF.
2. Telluride Blues and Brews Festival - Sept. 17, 18, and 19. This festival sounds like a lot of fun and I'll have to make an effort to do this next year. Bands featured this year include George Thorogood, BB King, and many others.
If you know of any others let us know!

2010 Great American Beer Festival
![]() |
Beer Festival of Beer Festivals!!! |
Another thing you will want is to do a little preperation. If there is a type of beer you want to try the most or types you like the most, remember... there are thousands of beers. Even with the small sample sizes you will have more than your fill. Also some of the beers do go out. Last year Samuel Adams brought out a keg of their Utopia which I was dying to try, however I did not plan it and so I missed out on my chance. It was gone in 30 min. As the day gets closer I will be posting more helpful tips on how to make the best use of your time at the beer fest. If anyone else has suggestions please do post them below!
Microbrews, beer fests, and home brew... Welcome!
Hello World! Beer Geek checking in for the first time. I'm a home brewer and beer aficionado. I'll be posting on home brew, Micro-breweries, and beer fests (a personal favorite of mine). Here in Colorado we have some of the best microbreweries who are always looking to show off their skills so I should have plenty of beer fests to chronicle. I have pictures and reviews of beer fests earlier this year which I will put up as soon as I can. I'll be putting up beer drinking, home brewing, and other beer related guides up as we go. The King of Beer Fests is coming up soon here in Denver: The Great American Beer Festival Sept 16-18 2010! I slacked on getting tickets this year and they are all sold out but I will be doing my best to get in there so I can show you all how great it really is! Thanks for stopping by!
