Boulder County Brew Cruise Tickets Still Available? Really?

Is it the bad economy? I dunno.

One of the most fun things to do during the Great American Beer Festival is the Boulder County Brew Cruise. A big bus takes you to 4 different breweries. You get behind the scenes guided tours of Boulder Beer, Avery Brewing, Left Hand Brewing and Oskar Blues. There is plenty of brews along the way, plus breakfast and lunch, plus a cool t-shirt and tasting glass to prove you were there. The right brain thinking gang at Left Hand Brewing organizes it and this year's BCBC is Wednesday, September 23rd. Tickets are $55 and you can get them at http://www.lefthandbrewing.com/. Just click on "shop."

I'll see you on bus #1.

The BCBC is just one of over 100 brew things coming up in the next three weeks.

That's more than 5 a day!

I just wrapped up the latest "Hop Tips" for the Rocky Mountain Brewing News and was amazed to see so many beer-y things.

There are:
52 different craft beer events and festivals
44 beer samplings and release parties
15 beer dinners

All in just the next three weeks.

I am sure the Great American Beer Festival had a lot to do with it. So did all the fun surrounding Boulder Beer's 30th Anniversary. But still, I can't believe there is so much going on, in just the next three weeks.

Watch your email for the details. The next "Hop Tips" should go out in the next day or two. You aren't getting "Hop Tips" every two weeks? If you live anywhere in the Rocky Mountain west, you need "Hop Tips" so you don't miss anything. Click here to sign up.
