The Nation’s Best Craft Breweries, Showcasing an Exceptional Range of Beer & Cider

Every September since 1994, an elite collection of America’s top craft breweries has gathered in Telluride, Colorado, to share their finest beer and cider. What began as the Telluride Brewer’s Festival on Main Street has evolved into today’s Telluride Blues & Brews Festival, an immersive celebration of craft, creativity, and community.

Each participating brewery brings a distinct point of view, with beers that vary in flavor, color, aroma, and personality. From crisp and refreshing to bold and complex, every pour reflects months, sometimes years, of dedication and artistry. Just as our music lineup highlights a diverse range of performers, our craft beverage program offers an equally dynamic and thoughtfully curated experience.

The Brewers Showcase expands this tradition into a multi-faceted, weekend-long experience. Guests can enjoy five intimate tasting sessions featuring 21 breweries and unlimited samples, creating opportunities for deeper exploration and connection.

The Showcase begins with an elevated multi-course beer pairing dinner, thoughtfully designed to complement modern mountain cuisine with exceptional craft selections.

Sierra Nevada Brewing Company returns as the festival’s long-standing craft beer partner, pouring beloved classics alongside six rare specialty releases and a unique, festival-only creation.

With so much to explore, the festival offers endless opportunities to discover your next favorite beer.
