Everything Fun You Can Do in Denver This Weekend

Get into the holiday spirit.

Hanukkah begins on Thursday and there’s only two shopping weekends left before Christmas, so it’s no surprise that this weekend in Denver, markets featuring local vendors are popping up all over. Most are outdoors so you can shop safely, and you can also indulge in some pretty amazing eats while picking up unique Mile High made gifts. There’s also the kickoff of 12 Firkins of Christmas if your current goals are to try a new beer everyday, or opt for socially distant virtual events including a scavenger hunt and a comedy show.

Try some new brews at a pick-up beer release

Friday, December 11

Fiction Beer Company

Just ‘cause you can’t drink inside doesn’t mean Denver’s breweries have slowed down on bringing you new beers for your home sipping pleasure. This weekend, Fiction Beer Company  is hosting a 3 x Can Release. Sixteen-ounce four-packs and drafts of Golden One El Dorado Hazy Imperial IPA, Hive Swarm Honey Rye Pale Ale, and Alternate Present Dark Lager will be available on Friday with pre-sales starting at 8am online.
