Fort Collins Brewfest 2009

The 20th annual Colorado Brewers’ Festival in historic downtown Fort Collins will be on June 27 and 28, 2009.  There will be over 50 Colorado beers to enjoy along with all the live music during the festival hours from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day.

Obviously, everyone that will be sampling the beers must be at least 21 years of age.  The admission is $10 for a 2-day pass and $6 for a Sunday only pass.  The beer tokens are $2 and you need beer tokens in order to get your beer samples!  There will be a designated driver program available for non-beer drinkers.

The Colorado Brewers’ Fest is made up solely of Colorado Breweries, including host breweries from Fort Collins: Anheuser-Busch, Big Horn Brewery/CB & Potts, Coopersmith’s Pub & Brewing, New Belgium Brewing Co., Fort Collins Brewery, and Odell’s Brewing

Nothing goes better with beer than great tunes!  Check out these local Colorado bands for the best music show around.

VOLUNTEERING: 
The Downtown Business Association accepts volunteers to work 4-hour shifts throughout the event. As a Colorado Brewers’ Festival volunteer, you will receive a special edition T-shirt and complimentary entrance into the festival. Please call (970) 484-6500 to volunteer.

Come down and sample some of Colorado’s best brews all in one place.  From past experience, I would suggest having sunscreen and water as it is typically a hot day and not much relief from the sun or dehydration.  Be smart and assign a designated driver BEFORE you even get to the event. 

Have a great time and maybe I’ll see you down there.  Thanks for reading my blog.
