About Us

Fifth Annual Craft Lager Festival !  Named in the top ten brew festivals in the country by USA Today, this celebration continues building a tradition of educating our community on unique small batch beers produced from Hawaii to Boston.  Our tasting/sampling is scheduled for Saturday August 9th, in Manitou Springs, offering products from over 30 national brewers.  All profits from the event are donated directly to local open spaces.

Projects We Have Supported:  Trails Open Spaces and Parks (TOPS), Red Rock Canyon (acquisition), Section 16 (acquisition), Friends Of North Cheyenne Canon (FONCC), Manitou Springs City Parks, the Colorado Brewer's Guild.

Held in the quaint mountain town of Manitou Springs, this celebration of 'bottom fermented beer' features regionally brewed and hand crafted lagers. Astounding views of Pikes Peak fill the horizon, the world's finest lagers fill glasses, and the air smiles with sounds of homegrown music. It's common to see brewers mingle in the crowd and sample beers in this copasetic setting.

Awards are presented during the fest for the most exceptional lagers pouring. It's a new day... come and taste it!
