Rolling in Dough

A Gastravaganza of Beautiful Beer & Splendid Street Food

Even if you are planning to come to Denver to attend foamy wonderfulness that is the Great American Beer Festival, you may not know about all of the other fun, delicious beer oriented events that are going on around town. 

Colorado has recently become known as the "Napa Valley of Beer", sporting more than 100 breweries, cooking up some of the country's finest craft brews. And in celebration of our outstanding brewing heritage, the city of Denver will be hosting the Denver Beer Fest.

Running from September 10-19, the Denver Beer Fest is a 10-day celebration of all things beer -  beer tastings, tours, pairing dinners, "meet the brewer" events, Oktoberfest street parties and of course, the Great American Beer Festival.  

In honor of the local beer-related festivities, I have partnered with Ginger Johnson of Women Enjoying Beer, to create the ultimate food and craft beer pairing event, The Gastravaganza of Beautiful Beer and Splendid Street Food, where we will explore the intricate world of craft beer and food pairing at a 6-course all Colorado beer and street food event. 

We've invited Avery, Left Hand, Odell's, Breckenridge, Wynkoop, Del Norte and Ska to bring us their favorite beer, and we've challenged the best of Denver's cool new gourmet street food trucks to come up with the ultimate food pairings.       

Make plans to join us for this fun night of craft beer pairing and street food. It will be a delicious time!

Get Ready, Denver! GABF is Pouring into Town

 The Great American Beer Festival is rapidly approaching and more than 49,000 craft brewers and beer lovers from around the country are preparing to descend upon Denver for the annual sudsfest.

In this, the Great American Beer Festival’s 29th year, the party will be bigger than ever with 522 breweries participating, pouring the largest selection of American craft beers ever served - more than 2,200 different ales, pilsners, lagers, saisons, wheats and stouts.

New to this year’s festivities will be seminars in the Beer and Food Pavilion featuring Top Chef Season 5 winner and Jax Fish House Chef Hosea Rosenberg discussing pairing trends in craft beer and street food; the Short Pour Film Festival: the first-ever film festival with music videos, animated and live-action shorts, and original commercials, all dedicated entirely to beer; and the Support Your Local Brewery Pavilion where attendees can sample rare beers unavailable anywhere else at the festival.

 

The Great American Beer Festival, listed in 1000 Things to See Before You Die, will be at the Colorado Convention Center, September 16-18, 2010. Tickets are still available for the evening sessions on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 5:30-10:00 pm, but are selling quickly and are anticipated to be sold out before the end of August.
