New for this year, the Colorado Brews Guild will join attending breweries to showcase fresh hop beers with local hops from Montrose, Co based Billy Goat Hop Farm, Oktoberfest style beers and more during the Brewer Showcase Tasting Sessions. Stop by the Colorado Brewers Guild Tent to meet folks from the guild and to try some craft beers that represent some of the state’s best breweries not in attendance at the event.

No worries—our vendors have something for everyone. Trust us—your taste buds will thank you.
