(Denver, CO) – The 11th annual Denver Rare Beer Tasting will feature some of the most difficult to find beers on the planet being poured in a single location by 66 of America’s leading craft breweries. The provisional beer list for the Oct. 4th event, which raises funds for the Pints for Prostates campaign, includes an array of barrel-aged, vintage, fruit, spiced, one-off limited releases and beers that have never been served to the public.
“The Denver Rare Beer Tasting is a unique atmosphere where beer fans get to try rare, exotic and vintage beers, while rubbing elbows with the men and women who brewed them,” said Rick Lyke, founder of Pints for Prostates. “We appreciate the support we get from the craft beer community at this annual celebration of beer passion and we’re proud of what it helps Pints for Prostates accomplish. We’re reaching men through the universal language of beer to fight prostate cancer.”
The prostate cancer awareness event takes place in Colorado during the same weekend as the Great American Beer Festival. Tickets for the event are now and sale and moving rapidly. The first 10 Denver Rare Beer Tastings sold out in advance. The beer list is truly a once in a lifetime collection of unique beers. The only other way to try some of these beers is to visit brewery tasting rooms from Alaska to New Jersey and score tickets to festivals from Indiana to Florida. In some cases, the beers being poured have never been sold to the public and are from brewmasters’ private cellars or brewery club offerings.
The provisional beer list for the event is nearly complete. Breweries have announced plans to bring these beers to the Denver Rare Beer Tasting 11:
Alamo Beer, San Antonio, Texas*, Russian Imperial Coffee Milk Stout
Breweries bring some of their rarest brews to the annual tasting. Some changes have been made to the event format this year. There will be a single class of ticket for the tasting and the total number of tickets being sold has been reduced by 24 percent, with just 650 tickets available to the public. Additionally, a third floor of breweries in the McNichols Civic Center Building is being added. Each of these moves will create less crowding and open more space for people to relax while sampling the beers. Tickets are $200, including all service and credit card fees. The event will run from 12-4 p.m. Each attendee receives beer samples, buffet lunch, collectible tasting glass, t-shirt, program and pen. Included in the ticket price guests will have the chance to meet the brewers, be entered in a drawing to win an amazing beer trip, bid in an exciting silent auction that includes a variety of unique beer experiences and collectibles, and participate in the Brewers Health Initiative, a free men’s health screening.
In addition to the beer and silent auction donations made by participating breweries, Craft Beer and Brewing is the media sponsor for the Denver Rare Beer Tasting 11 and logistical support is being provided by MicroStar. Additional sponsorship packages are available for companies that wish to take part in this boutique tasting.
