Colorado’s top breweries and beer-enthusiasts come together at the Springs Craft Beer Classic for the most adventurous tasting event of the summer. This afternoon event takes place in mid-July at America the Beautiful Park in Colorado Springs. Take in the scenic, mountain views while you immerse yourself in hop-culture! From stouts and lagers, to pale ales and ciders, taste the best selection of craft brews from the state and around the world. Hundreds of different beer, wine, and spirit samples will be showcased at the grand tasting event. No gluten? No problem. Gluten free options are available with refreshing seltzers, bold ciders, and cocktails. There’s no limit to the amount of craft brews you can sip on. This all-inclusive tasting allows you to imbibe at your own pace for two and a half hours. You’ll get to meet and greet with the breweries during the craft beer tour of a lifetime. Live music and entertainment add to the free-spirited, fun atmosphere of the beer festival. The full lineup of headlining bands and performers will be announced a month-prior to the event. A delicious selection of food vendors will also be at the event to soak up the suds.
