Great American Beer Festival

[eklindworth]

I've been looking at going to this in Denver for a few years and finally pulled the trigger and will be heading out Thursday. With 800+ breweries and 3100 beers to sample in only a couple days, I'm looking for additional recommendations on Breweries or beer to seek out when I am there. I already have a list going that includes Stone, Dogfish Head, Left Hand, St Arnold, etc. I'm open to any beer style but prefer IPAs, dry Stouts, session ales, etc.

And if anyone here is going, PM me and maybe meet for a sample.

Wife and I went to the international beer festival under the space needle in Seattle a few years back and it was a good time.

800 breweries sounds good and all but why waste your time when you could just go to the Coors brewery in Golden and get perfection!

Don't worry, Coors is listed as one of the 800.

I know, almost two many to choose from. That's why I am looking for input for you guys/gals that have maybe traveled and come across a great beer or brewery that we don't have access here in the tri-state area.

I have Ninkasi on my list now.

Fort George is another good one from Oregon. Think it's time to go visit the family the wife and I have in Oregon again next year. Make sure you let us know how it goes. I could see myself attending this after I looked at that list

For those looking at the GABF website, check out the Paired event Friday night. I am jacked for that.

ChuckaNut brewery ,out of Bellingham Wa, would be worth checking out if in attendance.
Spent a week training out there this spring, and spent a couple evenings sampling, was not disappointed!!

At the Seattle beer fest my wife and I found a dark Porter beer that was "Filtered" through shaved coconut. It was the most awesome beer we had ever tried. They had the keg line plumbed into a few large clear whole house water filter cartridge housings that were all filled with coconut so the beer flowed through those and then into your glass. ;:;bowdown
