This May, 5,000 of the best tourism marketing professionals in the country will be descending on Denver for
IPW 2018. And while many will take the chance to boast about how great their local beer scene is, we thought it was important to share some inside advice from The Mile High City — the center of the craft brew universe. Here are just a handful of only-in-Denver beers you should try while in town for
IPW 2018.
Breakfast Grapefruit IPA
The Beer: Beer for breakfast? Oh yeah. This citrus-tastic IPA is an extremely drinkable brew, with a complexity and flavor you’ll love, including real grapefruit added to the mix. Zing!

The Beer: With a low ABV of 4.3 percent, this crisp sour ale makes the perfect companion for a sunny Denver afternoon. The added sea salt rounds out the beer’s sour character, giving it a thirst-quenching quality.

Jean-Claude Van Blond
The Beer: This Belgian blond ale – a 2014 Bronze World Beer Cup and GABF Gold Medal Winner – is inspired by the action hero within us all, with a dry body and delicious notes of pineapple and clove.

Devil’s Night
The Beer: We’re not afraid to get a little devilish in the Denver. A rich, roasty Belgian-style stout, the Devil’s Night is a must for lovers of darker beers. Enjoy coffee and chocolate notes that lead into caramel and spice flavors.

Finnish Sahti
The Beer: What the heck is a Sahti? It’s a traditional Finnish style of beer, similar to a dark, farmhouse ale, that uses juniper berries to create a rich, strong brew. You’re going to love it.
