The Great American Beer Festival starts Thursday! This year it’s running from the 28th through the 30th at the Denver Convention Center in Denver, Colorado. It’s also the 25th anniversary of the Festival.

There are going to be seminars, beer tastings (naturally!), book signings, beer and food pairings, and of course the beer competition. And more breweries represented than you can shake a stick at.

Rick at Lyke 2 Drink is going to be there, and will be reporting the event on his blog as it unfolds. Nice… one of these days, I’ll be there too.

I mean, unlimited one-ounce samples of the more than 1600 beers represented… man.
