If you've ever been to The Great American Beer Festival, you already know that finding yourself among a collection of over 750 brewers serving over 3,500 beers can be overwhelming, especially if you're trying to cram as many tastes as possible into a 4 hour window. For the uninitiated who wonder how crazy it could possibly be with only "2oz pours," you'll probably realize it 3 hours in when it becomes a straight-up shit-show.

September's waning and October will soon be here...It's GABF time already and it doesn't appear that things will be slowing down any time soon. But no worries - Rumor Mill is always on the case, keeping you plugged in to all the craft beer news that matters. Plus we've an all-important update on what we've been drinking lately and you absolutely don't want to miss that.

As we mentioned yesterday Denver has an incredible beer scene so you need to get out and visit some of them while you're in town this week. The city has a mind-blowing array of options and here's some suggestions courtesy of the Brewers Association, that you need to check out.

So many beers- So little time... Some GABF releases in today's newbies that we can't wait to try while we're in Denver ...Plus we've some new offerings from Saint Arnold and River North that sound serious as well.

Even if you've been living in a bunker somewhere, you're probably still aware that the Great American Beer Festival is taking place in Denver this week. The Colorado Convention Center is again playing host to this massive event and craft beer events are already happening all over the city. With so much serious beer on hand and so many awesome events taking place almost hourly - it's easy to lose one's way. And that's where we come in.

So welcome to the ACB's 2015 GABF Survival Guide... And please pay attention because the health of your liver is at stake.

We blame the industry for this... It used to be that when we wrapped up our Weekend Picks on Friday, we could coast through the weekend. There was little need to check in for updates - things were pretty much done. But clearly all that's changed.

So here's some of what's happened in the world of craft beer while you were off enjoying yourselves.

Hey the work week is over... And it's time to start thinking fun. Well good, because we're all about it and we've got all kinds of ideas for you. From the nation's coolest beer festivals, movies and music to cutting edge TV - we've got your back big-time.  Plus we've a special weekend beer pick for you too, because we know you'll be drinking!

So welcome to our awesome Weekend Picks...

Hey we get it.  You're busy and you can't possibly hang with us 24/7. But still, we don't want you to be missing all the good stuff. So as part of our ongoing commitment to bringing you the best craft beer and lifestyle coverage on the face of the planet - and to keep you plugged into our ongoing recklessness - we do a weekly compilation of our recent good, bad and ugly.

So welcome to another Friday Wrap-Up

So many beers- So little time... More fall seasonals in today's newbies and we've a number of interesting offerings you'll want to chase down...Plus we've two collaboration from Harpoon and Deschutes that sound interesting as well.

Last week we unveiled 5 pumpkin beers you can't miss and it's clear to us that you're only thirsty for more! And no, you're not out of your gourd to take on such pursuits as it's natually the perfect time of year to get lost in all things Pumpkin. We've also recently reveled in what the style is and some of the best available a few weeks back, yet there are hundreds of varieties to choose from, so we're not done with the style just yet. You'd be silly not to try these beers before they're gone for another year.
