Exploring Denver’s Craft Beer Scene: Insights from a World Beer Cup Judge

This year offered me an incredible opportunity to serve as a judge at the prestigious World Beer Cup. While I was in the area, I maximized my time by visiting as many local breweries as possible in Denver and nearby Louisville (that’s Louisville, Colorado—not Kentucky!).

I’ve compiled a video showcasing the breweries I visited, and I invite you to check it out. I’d love to hear your thoughts on my choices and your own experiences in the Denver craft beer scene.

Here are a couple of questions to spark some discussion:

• Are there any breweries you think I should have visited but didn’t?
• Have you been to any of the breweries highlighted in my video recently? What’s your take on how they’re doing?

I’m not here to heavily promote my video; I genuinely believe that sharing our insights can enhance our collective appreciation for the craft beer community. Your recommendations and feedback are always welcome, especially for my next trip to this vibrant city. Cheers!
