Great American Beer Festival
Tourism Star Award Recipient — 2007
Colorado produces more beer than any other state and Denver produces more beer than any other city. The Great American Beer Festival is the grand daddy of all US beer fests and a Denver tradition for 26 years. In their quest for the best in suds, this year more than 100 professional judges sipped 2,793 beers from 470 domestic breweries, the largest array of US beers ever gathered together in one setting.
The Festival - presented by the Brewers Association - is not only the American brewing industry’s top public tasting event, it is an annual reunion for the nation’s craft brewers, drawing thousands of visitors each year from all over America and the world.
The profile of each Tourism Star is reflective of the time of the award.
