Denver Rare Beer Tasting event canceled due to renewed COVID concerns

In contrast to our joyous post about New York’s upcoming BriteVibes festival earlier today, we must pass along a dose of reality from Colorado. After careful deliberation, the event organizers for the Denver Rare Beer Tasting have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2021 event that had been scheduled for Sept. 9. 

“Back in June when we decided to move forward with the event, rates of new cases were dropping and vaccination rates were moving forward. We were optimistic that we had turned a corner and by September we could take precautions to safely host the event,” says Rick Lyke, Founder of Pints for Prostates. “However, the latest information on the Delta variant, along with the upward trend of new cases, gave us pause. As a men’s health charity, holding the Denver Rare Beer Tasting under these circumstances would be counter to our mission.”

Ticket buyers for the 2021 Denver Rare Beer tasting will be notified by email and will receive a full refund. While the Denver Rare Beer Tasting will not take place, Pints for Prostates and the Colorado Brewers Guild are looking into other ways to partner in the upcoming months to reach men through the universal language of beer. Stay tuned for more information.

“We’re saddened that this beloved tasting event will not occur this year but we support Pints for Prostates mission, and look forward to working with them for future fundraisers,” says Colorado Brewers Guild Executive Director Shawnee Adelson.
