Second Annual Denver Bacon & Beer Festival Returns In November

If you like bacon and beer, and especially together, get ready because the Denver Bacon & Beer Festival is coming back to the Mile High City. It’s the second year for the event- which will be held on Nov. 10 from 2:30 – 5:00 p.m. at the EXDO Event Center.

The day will feature bacon delicacies and some of Colorado’s best craft beer. Money raised also goes toward Metro CareRing and Project Angel Heart.

The festival was founded in Boston and sells out in three minutes flat. With such success, the fest moved West for last years inaugural sold out kick off- which brought 900 pounds of bacon, 25 chefs, 20 breweries and 800 people together to create the ultimate Sunday Funday. This year’s festival features 25+ restaurants and 25+ breweries. Come see us a the Front Porch after the fun to wrap up your Friday night!

“Bacon and beer were made for each other,” said PJ Hoberman, founder of Denver Off The Wagon. “Much like a pretzel necklace, bacon provides salt and texture that aides in clearing and coating the palate. Except that bacon is much more delicious than a pretzel can ever hope to be.”
