Pints for Prostates Rare Beer Tasting at the GABF

All About Beer Magazine and Beer Advocate hosted The Inaugural Denver Rare Beer Tasting at the 2009 Great American Beer Festival in Denver, CO as a fundraiser for Pints for Prostates.  This amazing event required a special ticket and was held at the Wynkoop Brewing Company.  This fundraiser had and “A list” of Breweries large and small.  Not only was there access to rare beers from some our favorite breweries, but many of the big name brewers and owners of these breweries were there to pour their brews.   Overall it was a great event for an even better cause.
