Each year on Friday after the session ends we head to the famous Falling Rock Tap house for our annual Dogfish Head / All About Beer Magazine promo. This year we are working with a great charity - Pints for Prostates, and we opened it up to a few other breweries to join us. We are working on getting a group fellow brewers to join us with collaboration beers for you to sample and try. It will be around 5 breweries with one to two beers to sample each.

Annual GABF homebrew tasting event
(I represent an AHA-registered club, Brews-Bros.com).
Every Friday evening during GABF, this year is September 17th, we hold
a tasting event for homebrewers across the country to sample each
others' brews. Everyone that shows up is required to bring at least
one bottle of beer, cider, mead, or wine for every person they bring
(if they bring a non-brewing friend). This year, we have a room at
the Marriott Residence Inn Denver City Center and the event starts at
5pm and goes until whenever - probably around 3-4am.

Beer for Boobs Brunch

A mix and mingle event open to all people who support the growing population of amazing women that love craft beer. This group is about creating a comfortable forum where people are encouraged to bring women into the craft beer world.

Freshcraft is a brand new restaurant in Denver focusing on amazing craft beer and thoughtfully prepared food.

Friday September 17th
Noon – Sierra Nevada Estate Harvest ‘Kill-a-Keg’.
Join Us for one of the craziest events of the year. We will see how long it takes us to pour a keg of Sierra Nevada’s Estate Harvest Ale. Normally we do this with regular Harvest Ale, But this year, since the GABF is so early, it’s not ready, but their Estate Harvest Ale is. Estate Harvest Ale is a Wet-Hopped Ale (the hops are picked & thrown directly into the brew kettle without drying them first) made with Hops & Barley from their own fields near the brewery.
