If you know Diana Kearns and Michael Kearns, The Kearns Team at Realty ONE Group Five Star, then you know that we are big fans of the Craft Beer world. We owned the Stapleton Tap House in Denver's Central Park Neighborhood, we've volunteered for the Great American Beer Festival and the Denver Rare Beer Tasting, we're past members of the Brewer's Association and the Colorado Brewer's Guild (and still members of the American Homebrew Association), and our vacations tend to include visits to local breweries!

So, it's to be expected that we're excited for two of the world's best craft beer events to come to Denver in October during Denver Beer Week... and we want to give YOU a chance to win 2 tickets to the Great American Beer Festival, Saturday evening, October 8, 2022! Read on for more information.

Denver Beer Week 2022 (September 30 - October 8)

Folks in the Denver are love craft beer so much that Denver Beer Week lasts 9 days! There will be over 100 beer events in town, including the Great American Beer Festival, the Denver Rare Beer Tasting (our favorite), meet the brewer events, tap takeovers, beer and food pairings, and so much more. Check out the Calendar of Events and come see why Denver IS the best craft beer city in America!

Denver Rare Beer Tasting (October 7)

Our favorite beer event is the Denver Rare Beer Tasting, which benefits Pints for Prostates. Since its inception in 2009, the Denver Rare Beer Tasting has attracted some of America’s most respected craft breweries who generously serve their most exotic beers. Beers featured at the Denver Rare Beer Tasting are some the world’s hardest to find and most sought after. They are served by the men and women who make them, the brewers themselves, clearly among the most talented members of the craft beer community. Brewers donate these amazing beers to support the Pints for Prostates campaign, which champions men’s health and fights prostate cancer. As a prostate cancer survivor, this cause is near and dear to Michael Kearns' heart!
