from Avery Brewing to me...
2008 Boulder County Brews Cruise
Pre-GABF “Highway to Hops” tour of area breweries features an additional bus trip and distillery visit
Tickets are on sale until this Friday, September 19th!
The third annual Boulder County Brews Cruise will feature three bus packages for 2008 and a visit to Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey in Denver.
Last year’s 2nd annual Cruise was a sold-out excursion that carried two busloads of US and European beer lovers from Denver to some of Boulder’s best beer and mead makers.
This year’s tour (dubbed “Highway to Hops”
is set for October 8, 2008, one day prior to the start of the 2008 Great American Beer Festival, October 9-11 at the Colorado Convention Center.
The 2008 Boulder County Brews Cruise will carry beer fiends to Avery Brewing, Boulder Beer Company, Left Hand Brewing Company, Oskar Blues Brewery & Pub (in Lyons), the new Oskar Blues Brewery (in Longmont), the Pumphouse Brewery and Redstone Meadery.
One of the 56-passenger tours will also stop at Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey. The pioneering Denver microdistillery makes its premium whiskey from a custom-made “distiller’s wash” produced by Oskar Blues Brewery.
For just $50, Brews Cruisers get a seat on the bus, free samples at each stop, a light breakfast, lunch, and a commemorative Highway to Hops T-shirt. Riders also get a 15% discount on all other beers and merchandise at each stop.
The Cruise gives riders a chance to try some of the state’s best beers at their source, and showcases the wonderful spirit of cooperation among the area’s craft breweries.
The cruise is sponsored by Draft Magazine. Now in its third year of publication, the magazine focuses on the beer lifestyle and the globe’s expanding beer and alcoholic beverage culture. Get details at
