Presented by All
About Beer Magazine, tickets for the event are among the most sought after of
any beer tasting. The event is held while the Great American Beer Festival is
taking place in Denver. The first four Denver Rare Beer Tastings each sold out
several weeks in advance.
“The Denver Rare
Beer Tasting is the quintessential rare beer event and gives people in Denver
for the GABF the chance to experience a true boutique-style tasting,” said
Daniel Bradford, publisher of All About Beer Magazine. “Our goal is to bring
together America’s best craft breweries in a relaxed format where brewers and
beer lovers get the chance to talk and taste a unique collection of beers.”
Pints for Prostates
is a 501(c)3 non-profit charity founded by beer writer and prostate cancer
survivor Rick Lyke. All net proceeds from Denver Rare Beer Tasting go towards
the awareness mission of Pints for Prostates and help to fund the education and
support programs of the Us TOO International Prostate Cancer Education and
Support Network, and free prostates cancer screening programs provided by the
Prostate Conditions Education Council.
“The Denver Rare
Beer Tasting has become on the most anticipated annual beer celebrations in the
U.S. Beer fans get to taste a collection of beers that most people never have
the chance to enjoy, while rubbing elbows with brewers,” said Lyke. “It is a fun afternoon and a great atmosphere,
with a serious mission: raising awareness about prostate cancer.”
