$70 – $85
Great American Beer Festival

Denver, known as the mile high city, is hosting The Great American Beer Festival (GABF), which promises to be the largest ever collection of beers in the US. There are more than 100 brewers in the Denver area alone.

Great American Beer Festival Tickets

The organisers recommend buying tickets online beforehand due to the popularity of the event. Tickets cost $95 for each session ($85 for members), which includes a tasting cup, unlimited one ounce samples, a guide, an app and entrance to the entertainment, which includes karaoke, dancing and DJs. The event has added more space for this year and includes bar food and beer gardens.

You can find a list of all the participating breweries here.

There is also the option of membership of the Brewers Association and American Homebrewers Association (AHA), which for 2019 and onwards will allow you to have access to tickets earlier than non-members, get you access to an extra tasting event on the Saturday afternoon, allowing you to beat the crowds and also includes reduced prices when buying tickets.

The Great American Beer Festival is not the only place to sample great beer in the US. For other ideas read: 12 Places to Enjoy Great Beer in the USA. Alternatively, read about Colorado’s Top Quirky Spots.

Mike East

Mike began his career in travel writing by going overseas during his holidays and writing his own guide. He then sent this manuscript off to a range of travel guide companies and got a range of rejection letters — all except one. Getting a contract to write for Roger Lascelles Publications on the Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago and The Bahamas was how his career began. With this opportunity came other pieces for British magazines and The Sunday Telegraph.
