Great American Beer Festival!

Post by BrewHound »

All,

The Great American Beer Festival (GABF) is going to be held October 9th, 10th, and 11th this year in Dever, Colorado. Here is a link to the page.

This seems quite far off, however, I thought that I would put it in peoples heads early. So possible we could organize group tickets and travel to the event. Or at the very least, people could buddy up and book together if they wanted to go.

I am looking forward to going for my first time this year. It is looking to be a great event. However, as with any Beer event it is more enjoyable when shared with another beer enthusiast such as fellow brewing brothern.

I haven't been to the GABF etiher but hope to make it this year. I know Brian, and Dave, Larry, Matt are all vets.. So it would be great if they coudl take a couple of us under their wing, but If I have to take a moped there this year if gas is nine bucks a gallon, I will!

Always Amtrak

I'd be curious if there are any other tentative travelers.

I'll keep it on the calendar. I big key for cost control was staying at the hostel. I dropped $16/night and we had our own room. Good enough to pass out in and walking distance to most everything, especially Great Divide and Falling Rock. There is also a great breakfast burrito place in the same building called Lemon Sisters.
