One of the most popular ways to start a new year is with beer and there’s probably no better place to have it than the Colorado Rocky Mountains. The upcoming event will mark the 20th year of Big Beers, Belgians & Barleywines Festival, which has become one of the most-awaited beer festivals in the country.
This event is dubbed by many as one of the best beer festivals in America with some even saying that it’s the benchmark of how beer festivals should be. Canceled for 2022, the next event is happening from Thursday through Saturday, January 5th to 7th, 2023 at the Beaver Run Resort & Conference Center in Breckenridge. The esteemed festival will once again gather fine brewery owners and famous brewmasters that will showcase hundreds of impressive beers.
