Submitted by alison on Sun, 05/18/2014 - 12:43pm

Colorado is considered something of a microbrew heaven. With over 160 brewpubs and breweries across the state, it’s easy to get a taste of some of the country’s best IPA’s, porters, ambers, and wits no matter where your Colorado vacation takes you. It should also come as no surprise that beer-related events and brewfests take place throughout the year with everything from nationally recognized brewing competitions to small benefits with a beer focus. Summer is of the best times to catch these events. As Fort Collins wraps up Craft Beer Week, here are 32 more festivals worth checking out this summer:
