Colorado’s craft beer scene is gearing up for a much-anticipated event as the Colorado Brewers Guild (CBG) prepares to host the 9th Annual Colorado Pint Day on April 10. With 225+ participating breweries, this year’s event promises to be one of the largest yet.
The Colorado Brewers Guild, a nonprofit trade organization dedicated to supporting independent craft breweries across the state, organizes the annual fundraiser. During the event, $1 of each pint glass sold is donated to the CBG, furthering its mission to promote, protect, and propel Colorado’s independent craft breweries. The event is always held on a Wednesday during the spring which is typically a slower period for breweries.
“We’re excited to see the continued growth and support for Colorado Pint Day,” says Carrie Knose Wilson, Communications Manager at CBG. “With over 225 breweries participating this year, it’s clear that the event has developed a dedicated following among craft beer lovers.”
Since its inception in 2016, Colorado Pint Day has evolved from featuring a simple CBG logo to collaborating with local artists to create unique designs based on different themes each year. This year’s theme, “Spring Skiing and Pond Skimming,” was selected through an art competition among brewery members, with Rhyan Montgomery from Ramblebine Brewing Company emerging as the winner.
Craft beer enthusiasts can find a list of participating breweries and a map of event locations on the CBG website. Whether enjoying a pint on a brewery patio or collecting limited-edition glasses, Colorado Pint Day offers a chance to celebrate the state’s rich craft beer culture while supporting local breweries. “There’s nothing quite like enjoying a Colorado Pint Day beer on a sunny patio,” adds Wilson. “Mark your calendars for April 10 and join us in raising a glass to Colorado’s independent craft breweries.”
