Can you believe that it is December already? Gone is
Thanksgiving and now the Holiday season is in full swing. Lucky for us that the
craft beer world is giving us gifts early in the month, as this is a very busy
week in craft beer around Colorado with festivals, anniversaries, and new beer
releases to keep us warm, and full of great beer all week.
Festivals:
This week prior to the annual Parade of Lights is the annual Parade of Darks at the Wynkoop in LoDo. This annual event will feature around 35 breweries and over 80 porters, stouts, barley wines, and all great dark beers from around the state and country. Tickets are $35 in advance and $42 at the door, and all proceeds go to benefit the Denver Metro Care Ring. This is a great event with some great beer perfect for the cold weather and the Holiday Season.
