Western Colorado Craft Beer Festival 2015

The event started at 2 pm and I did not know they had a limit on tickets. Lucky for us when we finally worked our way up to pay for our tickets at $20 per person, there were only six tickets left after we purchased ours.

The weather couldn't have been any better.....mid 70's, blue skies and no wind.

The grassy area of the Edgewater brewery had a stage setup and people had claimed their space with blankets and lawn chairs.  The group Zolopht was performing on stage and the music and beer were flowing!

Our admission price included a commemorative glass to go to the various breweries for unlimited samples.

All the sun, fun and music made us hungry so off to the crowded restaurant for lunch we went.  The wait staff with wide smiles on their faces did an exceptional job of taking care of everyone.  We ordered burgers, fries and onion rings because it rhymed with craft beer festival.

The breweries in attendance were:
Kannah Creek Brewing Company
Colorado Boy Brewery (Ridgway)
Copper Club Brewing (Fruita)
Glenwood Brewing (Glenwood Springs)
Ouray Brewing Company (Ouray)
Ourayle House aka Mr. Grumpy Pants (Ouray)
Palisade Brewing Company (Palisade)
Revolution Brewing (Paonia)
Rockslide Brewing Company (Grand Junction)
Suds Bros Brewery (Fruita)
Telluride Brewing Company (Telluride)

We definitely will be back next year, and you can be sure we will be there at 2 pm sharp when ticket sales start!   Another great reason to love Grand Junction and Western Colorado
