The GABF (Great American Beer Festival) founded in 1982, is the premier beer festival in the U.S. and beer competitions, with the largest collection of beer made in the United States and ever served in a public tasting event, outside of the private competition run by the Brewers Association. GABF brings together the brewers and diverse beers that make the U.S. the world’s greatest brewing nation.

The Great American Beer Festival takes place at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver annually, in early October for 3 days and sells out almost instantly so keep an eye out in July for the next time tickets go on sale so you can get yours!
