Denver Beer Fest Meet-Up
 

It's been discussed in chat a few times so I'm gonna throw this out there...


Great American Beer Festival - Sept 16th-18th Tickets aren't on sale yet (most likely in June) and as far as I can remember they run around $55 a person. And trust me, it's worth it. Around 2,000 beers to taste. The entire city of Denver is one giant party for three days... all for the sake of BEER!!!


Hotels fill up quick and tickets sell out quick. We should jump on this as soon as we can. Figure out which day to go. Where everyone is gonna stay. I have a limited amount of room at my apartment but some can stay here.



Let me know people... It will be a blast.

I for sure want to go. And it is perfect timing as smrt's birthday is Sept. 18th. What an awesome birthday outing that would make!

I am going to say, put us down for a yes! We'll sleep in your bathtub if needed.

Yippie... Two people.

Wow. I want to go! I've got a bunch of Beer Buddies I could probably arm-twist into coming along too.

My birthday too!

I still need to figure out this part of the year, but definitely interested.

Hmmm.....

I talked to a client earlier in the week who's in Denver that has some new stuff for us. If he comes through on those things, then I'm going to need to do something nice for him. And this fits that bill. And if I could finagle a day for myself....

Hmmm....

I'm all about it...but it depends on money and work situations. If that all works out, get ready. I'm bringing my sleeping bag, and I expect popcorn.

I'd need to talk to Mrs TK, but I could easily make it my birthday present. Keep this thread bumped so that when deadlines start to approach for ticket buying and stuff I can remember to get on it.

I'm all about this!

Count me in as planning to be there.

I am all over that, count me in as well.

I love Denver...and I love beer, so yeah sounds like a great idea!

More peeps...


Kick ass.

Interested, but not definite. Depends on job/money/time/whether we've gone to Wales to spread my dad's ashes yet.

Yeah give us a heads up when things get closer. I guess can't guarantee I'll be available in September, but more then likely it shouldn't be a problem. I miss Denver and have been looking for a good excuse to go back.

If my plans for FL fall through, I'll come out.

If that's the case, my bday is the 4th, so we can have a HUGE TFP birthday bash in Denver.

Checked with Mrs TK, we are in. Started arranging babysitting, looking for flights and hotel deals today actually. Her sister and brother in law may join us as well!

Purchase Tickets Is this a leftover from last year? It is saying Sold Out.

[edit] It looks like it is a holdover from last year...the hotels are all saying "sold out" also, but with 2009 dates.

I'll go if I get to sleep on the Sesame Street sheets with king.

Can I stay with you?

Tele, yeah... They haven't fixed the site yet. When they actually go on sale it will change.

Gucci, if you really want to. You can.

Halx, of course. It'll have to be sleeping bag on floor style.

Is this at the convention center that is easy walking distance from the Denver Magnolia Hotel? I've stayed in one of their suites for a CEDIA trade show, and it was one of the nicest hotels I've been at...it looks like it isn't too expensive at the beer rates either, if the prices don't go up.

Everything downtown is within walking distance from the convention center. It's a small city.

Site has been updated. Tickets on sale in June.

Bump in case anyone hasn't seen this. Can't wait until tickets go on sale!

i miss beer fest. that'll be my trip home one year

In case I don't see this thread in June, someone give me a holler when tickets go on sale.

We're still in...Mini TK will be 2 and a couple months, plenty old enough for her first weekend alone at Gramma's House.

i will be down. i am coming from outside of town (boulder area) but the bus system is sufficent for those who cannot stay closer. is there anyone who might have a back yard available to pitch a tent?

As far as tickets... We should decide which day/days we are going.


I normally only go on Thursday.

Less busy on Thursday I assume? Still not sure when we could make it out there...

No... Thursday is the party night. It's mostly service industry people... bartenders, servers, cooks... It's crowded no matter what day it is.

I like the sound of "party night" but I think in deference to people flying in, a Saturday evening might be easier to schedule days off around.

Saturday works for me.

Should we just state right now that we will be going Saturday Sept 18th? I'm pretty that's the most popular day to go. It being a weekend and all. That's the main reason we always have gone on Thursday.

Is this going to be an all weekend thing? Is everyone going to fly in on Friday? I'm just trying to get my dates straight so that I will show up on the right day.

Cinn and I are planning on coming.

I'm assuming it's gonna be a weekend thing. Gotta show all my haunts...

I'm planning on flying in Friday, drinking Saturday, and flying out Sunday.

WK, you working Friday night? I wouldn't mind eating some of your foodstuffs.

I'm taking the weekend off. But I planned on cooking for everyone one night.

Even betterer!

I'll help cook, but I'm not your damn sous. I'm stating that now. Not. Your. Sous.

Not sure when we will get there or when we will leave. Depends on how much time smrt can get off from work. It is his birthday so we hope he will be able to get a few days, maybe we will drive out, or even ride the motorcycle!

Mmmm food...

Tickets go on sale to the public on June 28th.
