It’s back! After a two-year hiatus prompted by the pandemic, the country’s premier beer festival is returning to the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado, on Oct. 6-8, 2022. Established in 1982 by the Brewers Association, the trade organization representing small and independent American craft brewers, the first festival hosted 24 breweries featuring only 47 beers. This year, the Great American Beer Festival® (GABF™) is celebrating its 40th anniversary with more than 1,500 different beers from over 500 of the nation’s finest breweries.

To celebrate the anniversary, the festival is offering four ticket options and bringing back PAIRED®, the unforgettable craft beer, and a food pairing event featuring 25 breweries curating tasting menus and serving beers that will not be available on the festival floor. For the first year ever, tickets to PAIRED will be available with and without admission to the GABF general session.
