Great American Beer Festival 2017 Events

1 1 Upslope Brewing

The Great American Beer Festival is the biggest week of the year in Colorado craft beer so we’re celebrating every day! Look out for special beer tappings, beer pairings and events all week long at both of our tap rooms, as well as around Denver, so you can share in the GABF fun with us!

Here’s the rundown of what we’ll have going on at our tap rooms:

Monday 10/2

We’ll be tapping our annual Falling Rock collaboration, Southern Hemisphere Pale Ale, brewed with heaps of hops from Australia, New Zealand and South America. It’s a crisp, dry pale ale that’s easy drinking yet backed with some nice hop complexity.

Tuesday 10/3

NEW Tap Room Series Release!   We’re releasing our newest limited release Tap Room Series beer on draft and in 19.2 oz cans. This time it’s a Fresh Hop Red IPA brewed with whole cone Cascade and Nugget hops straight from our friends at High Wire Hop Farm. The Fresh Hop Red IPA will be available on draft and in cans at both our Flatiron Park and Lee Hill tap rooms.

Cellar Beer Tasting & Panel – At 5:30 pm at our Flatiron Park tap room we’ll be hosting our Cellar Beer Tasting & Panel event, “Drink like a Brewer”, where you can join some of our brewers and taste a selection of our best cellar-aged beers. Snag a ticket HERE to get your hands on some of our rarest beers before it sells out!

Wednesday 10/4

NEW Beer Release! – We’ll be tapping yet another new beer, this time our new Hops & Pie collaboration, S’mores Porter! S’mores Porter will be available on tap at both of our locations on draft for your fall enjoyment.

Chocolate + Beer Pairing – We’ll also be featuring a chocolate and beer pairing all day at both tap rooms that we  have created with Cacao Chemistry. The chocolate and beer pairing flight will be available while supplies last for $15.

Thursday 10/5

Throwback Thursday is back! We’ll be pulling a curated selection of cellar-aged beers from our Brewers’ Cellar and making them available for either on-premise consumption or for you to take home to add to your own cellar collection!

Friday 10/6

Get ready for Firkin Friday at both of our tap rooms where we’ll be tapping cask-conditioned firkins of our Toasted Coconut Brown Ale!

Saturday 10/7

Come watch the awards ceremony with us! We’ll be streaming the awards ceremony at our Flatiron Park tap room with our fingers crossed to bring home some more GABF hardware. Enjoy the beers that we entered in the competition on draft while we nerd out about beer styles and some of our other favorite breweries.

Sunday 10/8

Wind down from the GABF festivities with a beermosa made with our GABF medal winning Belgian Style Pale Ale. It’s been a busy week of beer drinking, and you deserve a break!
