2024 GABF Out-of-State Beer Drops Available in Denver
When the Great American Beer Festival returns to Denver each year, beer fans benefit not just from the festival itself, but also from the myriad of tap takeovers, mini-festivals, beer dinners, and also specialty beer drops from out-of-state breweries.
In previous years, breweries such as Fremont, Perennial, and Live Oak have all used GABF week as a launchpad toward regular, or in some cases semi-regular distribution to Colorado. In other scenarios, such as with Bell’s Brewing, a few years back, these brief market flirtations can help pave the way toward future full-time distribution play.
This year, the 2024 Great American Beer Festival will once again yield a healthy bounty of beer treats that aren’t typically widely available, as well as plenty of special releases from local breweries thoughtfully timed to celebrate the week.
We’ve begun compiling our guide to these special releases and will continue to update this list as more information presents itself. Happy hunting!
