The Colorado Brewers Guild (CBG), a nonprofit trade organization for independent craft breweries in the State of Craft Beer, is delighted to announce the record-breaking 225+ participating breweries, which is approximately half the number of craft breweries in the state, for the 9th Annual Colorado Pint Day on April 10. The event is always held on a Wednesday during the spring which is typically a slower period for breweries.
The CBG fundraiser, which $1 of each pint glass sold is donated to support the Colorado Brewers Guild and its mission to promote, protect, and propel independent craft breweries in Colorado, is a widely attended and sought-after tradition that has developed a cult following throughout the years with craft beer lovers across the state flocking to participating member breweries selling limited-edition Colorado Pint Day glasses to complete their collections. The single day event has been so popular that state guilds, like New York and Texas, have followed suit.
“Last year we hit record-breaking numbers both with the number of participating breweries and glassware available,” says CBG Communications Manager Carrie Knose Wilson. “We’re thrilled that we have even more participating breweries this year including 38 breweries that didn’t participate last year.
Colorado Pint Day started in 2016 featuring a simple design: the CBG logo. Since then, the Guild has teamed up with local artists to create a design based on a different theme each year. This year’s Colorado Pint Day marks the third year in a row where the Guild hosted an art competition among brewery members. Rhyan Montgomery, a beer-tender for Ramblebine Brewing Company out of Grand Junction provided the winning design for the 2024 Colorado Pint Day theme: Spring Skiing and Pond Skimming.
The list of participating breweries and map of Colorado Pint Day locations can be found on the CBG website.
“There’s nothing better than sitting out on a brewery patio and enjoying the sunshine with a Colorado Pint Day beer-filled glass in hand,” says Wilson. “Make sure to mark your calendars for April 10!”
