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 Big Beers, Belgians & Barleywines Festival has been going on for over 20 years and 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 it’s the benchmark of how beer festivals should be. The next event was reported happening from Thursday through Saturday, January 4th to 6th, 2024. The esteemed festival will once again gather fine brewery owners and famous brewmasters that will showcase hundreds of impressive beers.
