Best New Craft Beers and Brewery Events This Month


Although Colorado Craft Beer Week and Collaboration Fest were canceled earlier this year because of the coronavirus, the fifth annual Colorado Pint Day is back on. Drop into one of more than 100 participating Colorado craft breweries around the state, buy a pint, and pick up the 2020 Colorado Pint Day glass.

The effort is a fundraiser by the Colorado Brewers Guild, which «promotes, protects, and propels» independent craft breweries «through advocacy, community, education, and public awareness,» the organization says. The Guild, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary, is hurting financially right now because all of its events and fundraisers have been canceled as a result of COVID-19 restrictions.

Different breweries will have different rules this year — and many will only be selling the glasses in advance online to keep crowds down. This year’s sixteen-ounce glass features organic-printed bighorn sheep art by Mallory Hodgkin. Go to the Brewers Guild’s Colorado Pint Day website to see if your favorite brewery is participating.
