Event Preview | LowDown Barrel-Aged Beer Festival
If you have attended LowDown Brewery’s Barrel-Aged Beer Festival in the past, you remember the laid back, line-free day of great rare beers. This year’s event is bound to be twice as good; mainly because it’s twice as long with more than double the barrel aged beers. LowDown will again host the event at their brewery this weekend, January 21 and 22.
Beer will start flowing both days when the brewery and restaurant open at 11 am. Saturday, the Festival beers will be available until 5:00 pm and Sunday until the beers run out. Like year’s past, you will be able to get 4 or 8 oz pours of rare barrel-aged beers from Dry Dock, Elevation, Lagunitas, Left Hand, Odell, Platte Park, Ratio, River North, Rock Bottom Denver, and of course LowDown. Most breweries will have representatives at the event, allowing you to rub elbows with the people behind the brews.
Like years past, there is no cover for the event. LowDown will have some non-barrel-aged beers on tap for anyone looking for lighter options. Additionally, LowDown’s kitchen will be serving food throughout the event, including a brunch menu and other special items.
