Explore Denver’s craft beer scene at the CAR Conference

Denver has one of the best craft beer scenes in the country, and we’re giving a limited number of CAR Conference attendees a way to visit some of the coolest spots. Sign up for our Denver Brewery Tour!

When: Thursday, March 10 from 7:30 – 11 p.m. (3.5 hours total)

Price: $45/person (Price includes: Transportation, one pint at each brewery and tips for the breweries and tour bus driver)

How it works: Banjo Billy’s tour busses will pick participants up at the conference hotel at 7:30 p.m. The busses will stop at three breweries. (The exact stops will be determined later, but we’ve listed some of the possibilities below.) At each stop, participants will get tours and insider information on the Denver beer scene. The tour will take about 3.5 hours, and participants will be dropped back at the conference hotel when it’s over.

Requirements: Must be 21 or older to participate.

Because of limited seating on the tour busses, only 50 people can sign up for this event. Sign up now!

If you have questions about the tour, please contact Stephanie Sinn at stephanie@ire.org.
