All Day— BREWERS’ FESTIVAL

And to end the week of beer, we add more beer with the 26th Annual Brewers’ Festival. “This iconic annual event is the largest outdoor brewing festival in Colorado and one of the highest profile events of its kind in the nation, drawing over 20,000 people into Downtown Fort Collins. The weekend features 100+ Colorado beers, over 50 Colorado breweries, live music, dozens of vendors and food trucks, and an interactive “Beer School” with tastings and demonstrations. In addition to the mighty haul of Colorado beers, this year’s fest will reflect the essence of Fort Collins brewing culture in a new area dubbed, “The Neighborhood,” which will showcase Fort Collins breweries and their beers, from flagships to exclusive creations brewed just for COBF. Kick off the weekend at The Summit, a Friday night connoisseur-minded event produced in conjunction with the Colorado Brewers Guild. Then, wake up on Saturday morning and go to Breakfast & Brews, a plate-lickin’ breakfast paired with beer. Finally, finish the weekend with Colorado Brewers’ Festival!” – Down Town Fort Collins
