This has been so popular (and fun) the last two years, we have to do it again! Join us for a 2 1/2 hour custom, private, guided walking tour of popular North Denver's Sunnyside and LoHi neighborhood and its excellent microbreweries. The tour starts at Diebolt Brewing Company at 3855 Mariposa Street in Denver, where you will taste amazing craft beer and learn how unique handcrafted ales and lagers are made as you experience brew haven. Though the walk is short to each brewery, it provides a chance to learn about Denver and its craft beer scene. The tour is great for novices and experts alike. Included in the tour: Lots of great beer samples; behind the scenes tour of a brew house, visit 3 different breweries, AND build relationships with your fellow IP colleagues! Cost is $39/person. Spots are limited, so sign up early!
