It's time for Denver Beer Fest!

I wrote about the biggest convention in the country devoted to beer on page 102 in my Moon Denver guidebook, The Great American Beer Festival which comes to town every October. To kick things off this year is a "citywide celebration of all things beer" because you just can't have too much of a good thing (like chocolate, beer...). The festival goes for nearly 10 days until the sold-out GABF begins. Go to www.denverbeerfest.com to find out about beer-pairing dinners, beer tastings, beer tours, beer trivia (and prizes!) as well as the 40th annual Oktoberfest celebration. The list of possibilities is truly creative and silly and good fun. Looks like this will become an annual event too.
