About this event
The Great American Beer Festival, brought by the Brewers Association, calls itself the premier U.S. beer competition, crowning beverages in over 100 beer and cider styles. This edition is held outdoors at Denver's Levitt Pavilion, where guests taste craft beer, cider, and more from the breweries on the pouring list. PAIRED pairs independent craft breweries with acclaimed chefs for a beer-and-food experience, with food trucks, the Live Independent Stage, and the United Nations Taproom also on the grounds. The festival is for guests 21 and older.
Our take: Build the visit around PAIRED if food pairing is the draw, and check who is pouring before you lock a plan.
Good to know
21 and older.
