Craft Beer, Food, Fun, Family-friendly

Boulder, CO – Welcome to the second annual Colorado Craft Beer Expo. The goal of the Expo is to bring beers from outside the local market for Colorado Beer Lovers to enjoy.

Just over twenty breweries participated in the first year, with more than sixty beers available to sample responsibly. Colorado Beer Lovers enjoyed the first Colorado Craft Beer Expo and told us to bring it back and make it better. We listened.

Fast-forward a year: today there are more than 1,400 craft breweries in the U.S., and the Colorado Craft Beer Expo has grown, becoming one of Boulder County’s best loved craft beer events. It is the premier end-of-summer event for anyone who loves Colorado craft beer, or is visiting Louisville in September. Located at Lucky Pie in Louisville the Colorado Craft Beer Expo is characteristically Colorado, and the perfect place to spend an afternoon with your family enjoying the finest beer from Colorado Brewers Guild brewers. The Expo showcases esoteric and exotic beer styles. You will love the beer offerings, the food, and the souvenir pint glass.

We realize that Colorado Beer Lovers and the media help spread the word about our successful Expo, and we are extremely appreciative. If there is anything we can do to help you with a story, please don’t hesitate to contact the Guild or Lucky Pie. The Colorado Craft Beer Expo is a fundraiser to support the non-profit Colorado Brewers Guild in its mission to educate and advocate on behalf of the Colorado Craft Brewer.

Tickets available from Lucky Pie: $40 advance / $50 door    http://www.coloradobrewersguild.org/news.html
