During this year’s Great American Beer Festival, Pints for Prostates, in collaboration with the Prostate Conditions Education Council, and 1400 Miles, will offer a free men’s health screening event for brewing industry members and beer fans attending the event.

The Brewers Health Initiative is designed to reach men through the universal language of beer, giving them a free, quick and easy way to take charge of their health. A team of healthcare professionals will administer a simple blood test taking approximately 10 minutes to screen for prostate specific antigen, glucose, lipids and testosterone levels. Participants will receive a confidential report sent directly to them after the event that they can review with their doctor. The blood tests being run have a value of $700 and scan for several important male health issues.

The Brewers Health Initiative will operate on Wednesday (Sept. 23) and Thursday (Sept. 24) from Noon to 4 p.m. and Saturday (Sept. 26) from 10:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. at the corner of 14th Street and Stout Street under a tent adjacent to The Beerliner in the Focus Parking lot, across from the Colorado Convention Center, site of the GABF. On Friday (Sept. 25) the men’s health screening will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. adjacent to the McNichols Civic Center Building at 144 W. Colfax, the site of the Denver Rare Beer Tasting VII.
