Happy Colorado Pint Day!

Colorado Pint Day is a time-honored tradition that has reached cult-level status with beer lovers flocking to participating breweries
Every year Colorado Pint Day is held on a Wednesday in the spring. While a fundraiser for the Colorado Brewers Guild, it is a day for beer lovers to visit breweries and share their love of Colorado Craft Beer. And a special shout out to Eric of who shared that love and gifted me his pint glass!

This year’s theme for Colorado Pint Day is Spring Skiing and Pond Skimming - a celebration of everything that comes with spring skiing including mountains, snow, sun, and skiing in the last few weeks of spring!

Congratulations to Rhyan Montgomery from Ramblebine Brewing in Grand Junction for designing the winning artwork for 2024 Colorado Pint Day!

Cheers!
