UPDATED *** Foam Fest / 6-10pm
Couldn't find a ton of information about this event, but it's in Pueblo at the State Fair. The address is listed as 1001 Buelah Ave. Check out the facebook event for information. There will be a good sized list of breweries attending the festival and it looks like there's also a homebrew competition with over 400 entries. How was this off our radar?!
Brewer's Republic 1 Year Anniversary Party! 7pm till beer runs out
Our local drinking hole is turning 1 year old and it's time to party with them. They'll be throwing a big party on the upstairs deck. $20 gives you all you can drink of the 60 gallons of beer until it all runs out. Could get crazy!
