Over the past 19 years, Shelton Brothers has grown to become one of the country’s most prestigious importers of international beer, as well as one of the more recognizable distributors in the U.S. Gaining recognition for carrying elite level brands like Cantillon, Blaugies, Fantôme and more, the MA-based wholesalers have also laid claim to one of the most elite-level beer festivals in the country. The Festival, which rotates cities each year showcases not only the Shelton Brothers catalog but also some of the country’s best and brightest up-and-coming breweries.

Last month it was announced that this year’s two-day event will take place October 19-20 in Denver, CO at the Denver Rock Drill building at 1717 E 39th Avenue. Tickets go on sale this Friday, July 20 at 10 am EDT for both Friday and Saturday Sessions. Tickets will be available in the following options:
