As if St. Patrick’s Day wasn’t enough - on March 18th, brewers from across the state will be hosting Colorado Craft Beer Week.
March 18th marks the beginning of yet again another beer soaked anti liver rally, this time it’s Colorado Craft Beer Week. This is where Colorado’s craft beer industry gets together to celebrate everything craft beer, and proves to us that our post-St. Patrick Day statements like “I’m never drinking again” are complete delusions. Other events are rumored to include beer dinners, educational events, and tap takeovers. Best of all, if you participate in Colorado Pint Day (March 22) you’ll get a special glass with a 14 ounce pour in reverence to the 14ers that keep us honest and remind us that nature is still greater.
