Amongst all the amazing craft beer festivals that pop up around the state of Colorado, America's Beer Fest stands out as one of the best.
What do you get when you take craft beer, live music, and beer games and roll them all together on the weekend before the Fourth of July? Why, America's Beer Fest, of course! With its festive all-American theme, this beer festival offers unlimited sampling from nine different local craft brewers, all for the price of admission.
On Saturday, June 30, America's Beer Fest will be held at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds in Golden between 1:30 and 6 p.m. Tickets are $35/person for General Admission and $60/person for VIP. Buy your tickets here.

The price of general admission gets you all the free samples you can handle, but you'll have to purchase drink tickets so you can get a full beer of whichever brew is your favorite! VIP tickets include an open bar, so if that's more your style, plan accordingly!
In addition to beer and live music, the festival features their "Star Spangled Beer Games" (basically all your favorite beer games, sponsored by Play Mile High), mechanical bull-riding, and the chance to be a part of a historic moment: a world record attempt for the largest flip cup game ever.
Craft breweries include Burgundian Brewing, Dive Bar Brewing Company, Ironworks Brewery & Pub, Lumpy Ridge, New Planet Beer Company, Prost Brewing Company, Spice Trade Brewing, Twisted Pine Brewing Company, and Vail Brewing Co.
And get this: if you're active or retired military, a first responder, or a teacher, you'll get into America's Beer Fest for FREE. So make sure you share the love and let all your friends know about this epic event! For more information, check out America's Beer Fest's website.
The Jeffco Fairgrounds are located at 15200 West 6th Avenue, Frontage Road, in Golden.
What a fun way to usher in the Fourth of July week, right? Happy birthday, America!
