If the Great American Beer Festival is a must-see event, then this year before booking the flight and hotel, then packing the bags, two more items were required: vigilance and a lightning-fast internet connection to get to the Denver festival.

It will be more than two months before the Great American Beer Festival opens its doors, and tickets sold out today in less than twenty minutes.

What’s the main attraction? “This year, we’ll see … 616 [breweries] pouring in the festival hall (as of July 30)—and more than 3,000 beers to choose from.”

This year should see 75,000 people attend Denver’s GABF.

Several Florida breweries will also be representing the Sunshine State in Denver.
