The Big Eat Food Fest Pairs Beer, Cider and More with Culinary Masters

Over the past ten years, Denver’s culinary scene has experienced a renaissance similar to that of its craft beer counter parts. Now drawing some of the country’s preeminent chefs and restauranteurs, Denver has become a hotbed for elite level culinary talents. And no event best showcases that Denver’s culinary scene quite like The Big Eat.

Hosted by Eat Denver, a coalition that represents the city’s independent restaurant members, The Big Eat is the ultimate fusion of unlimited small bite eats from 60 of the city’s top restaurants, paired with libations from some of the state’s best culinary minded wineries, cideries, breweries, and spirits.

This year’s all-star restaurant lineup includes the likes of Tavernetta, Citizen Rail, Bistro Georgette, Avelina, Liberati, Comida, Fish N Beer, The Bindery, Acreage, Avanti, Duo, and many more.

The Big Eat 2019 takes place tomorrow, Thursday, June 20 from 6-9pm at The Galleria at the Denver Performing Arts Complex. Tickets are currently still available so grab yours before they’re all gone. Here’s a preview of the beverage lineup at tomorrow’s event.
