After a two year pandemic hiatus, the Great American Beer Festival, affectionately known  as the GABF in the biz, will be returning to Denver on October 6-8. And tickets to this acclaimed festival (one of the best in the world) go on sale this week so you need to be ready.

Hosted by the Brewers Association, this marks the 40th anniversary of GABF, and it’s going to be epic. The Great American Beer Festival has grown exponentially since 1982, where just 24 breweries and 47 beers were present.

The Great American Beer Festival unites people from all corners of the country to celebrate the nation’s craft beer industry. This is the beer event of the year and it’s not to be missed…so you know what to do.
