2025 House of Brews: Fresh Styles Every Day

Telluride Blues & Brews Festival

Raise a glass—House of Brews is back! This festival favorite returns with a brand-new lineup of styles each day, pouring everything from crisp lagers to bold IPAs, smooth stouts, and more. Best of all, you never have to miss a moment of the Main Stage—HOB is located right by the merch tent and main entrance, giving you the perfect spot to sip while you catch every note.

This year, the HOB bar features a rotating tap list from Sierra Nevada Brewing Company and many of the Brewers Showcase participants, offering more than 10 unique styles daily. Each beer is available in limited quantities and served for one day only—meaning every pour is a chance to taste something special before it’s gone.
