Just got an e-mail about this, but there was very little actual information. It's at Mile High Stadium July 27th. Anyone know who will be there pouring what? Opinions on this being worth $35?
I too got the email. Happens twice a year, you can read more here: http://denverbrewfest.com/ $30 in advance http://denverbrewfest.com/summer/index.html My guess as to who's there: 1500-2200 participants, sold out last couple years, not sure who will be pouring what. If strapped for cash I'd say keep the $30 and go to GABF or Rare Beer Tasting.
My wife and I went to it 2 summers ago and it was ok. When we went it was all breweries that you can buy in the stores here and they were not pouring anything one-off/rare. It may have changed since then though but this year I'm saving my money for GABF.
I think it comes down to how you look at it. There isn't anything rare, but there are plenty of items being poured that are say...$5-8 per pint. You should probably base your decision on going on whether you plan on downing at least $30 of potentially really good, but non-rare beer.
Went last year and it was really crowded and long lines for relatively easy-to-get beers if you're a trader. Make your own decision, but I'd personally rather do a few taprooms instead.
