(* First Denver Rare Beer Tasting appearance.)

Breweries bring some of their rarest brews to the annual tasting.  The beer list for the Denver Rare Beer Tasting 13 will be released prior to the event.

In addition to the beer and silent auction donations made by participating breweries, All About Beer is the media sponsor for the Denver Rare Beer Tasting 13 and logistical support is being provided by MicroStar.  Additional sponsorship packages are available for companies that wish to take part in this boutique tasting.

Tickets for the event are now on sale for $200.  Each attendee receives beer samples, lunch, collectible tasting glass, t-shirt and program. Included in the ticket price guests will have the chance to meet the men and women who brewed the rare beers being served, be entered in a drawing to win an amazing beer trip, bid in an exciting silent auction that includes a variety of unique beer experiences and collectibles, and participate in the Brewers Health Initiative, a free men’s health screening.

“We launched this event in 2009 with the idea that the Denver Rare Beer Tasting would be a special experience for beer fans and brewers,” said Lyke. “This event is about the beer, the people and the cause – men’s health. We’re proud the Denver Rare Beer Tasting is recognized as one of the best craft beer events in the U.S. and that we have provided free health screenings for thousands of men.”

This year there will be a single admission format with a four hour session for all ticket buyers. The number of available tickets have been reduced, with just 600 tickets available to the public. Breweries will be pouring on three floors of the McNichols Civic Center Building at 144 W. Colfax Ave.

Each of these moves are designed to create less crowding and more space for people to relax while sampling the beers. All attendees must present proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID or a negative test result within 48 hours of the event.

Pints for Prostates is a 501(c)3 non-profit charity and all net proceeds from Denver Rare Beer Tasting go towards the group’s awareness mission, education and support programs, and free prostate cancer screening programs.

About Pints for Prostates

Pints for Prostates reaches men through the universal language of beer to encourage them to take charge of their health. The group was founded by prostate cancer survivor and beer writer Rick Lyke in 2008. The grassroots effort raises awareness among men about the importance of regular men’s health screenings by making appearances at beer festivals, social networking and pro bono advertising. According to the National Cancer Institute, approximately 268,000 new prostate cancer cases will be diagnosed in 2022 in the U.S., with sadly 34,500 deaths from the disease.
