DENVER, CO – The lucky 13th annual Denver Rare Beer Tasting released a list of 58 of America’s leading craft breweries that have committed to pour at the Oct. 7th event to raise funds for Pints for Prostates.

The prostate cancer awareness event takes place in Colorado during the same weekend as the Great American Beer Festival. The Denver Rare Beer Tasting 13 features the chance to sample rare, exotic and vintage beers from dozens of leading craft breweries and the opportunity to meet the men and women who made them.

“We’re thrilled to bring the tradition of the Denver Rare Beer Tasting back this year. This event is a favorite of both craft brewers and beer fans. This celebration of beer passion allows us to reach men through the universal language of beer with an important health message,” said Rick Lyke, founder of Pints for Prostates. “A group of highly regarded American craft breweries will be serving a collection of the most unique beers on the planet. And it’s all for a great cause, fighting prostate cancer.”

In addition to the beer and silent auction donations made by participating breweries, All About Beer is the media sponsor for the Denver Rare Beer Tasting 13 and logistical support is being provided by MicroStar.  Additional sponsorship packages are available for companies that wish to take part in this boutique tasting.

Tickets for the event are now on sale for $200.  Each attendee receives beer samples, lunch, collectible tasting glass, t-shirt and program. Included in the ticket price guests will have the chance to meet the men and women who brewed the rare beers being served, be entered in a drawing to win an amazing beer trip, bid in an exciting silent auction that includes a variety of unique beer experiences and collectibles, and participate in the Brewers Health Initiative, a free men’s health screening. 

“We launched this event in 2009 with the idea that the Denver Rare Beer Tasting would be a special experience for beer fans and brewers,” said Lyke. “This event is about the beer, the people and the cause – men’s health. We’re proud the Denver Rare Beer Tasting is recognized as one of the best craft beer events in the U.S. and that we have provided free health screenings for thousands of men.”

This year there will be a single admission format with a four hour session for all ticket buyers. The number of available tickets have been reduced, with just 600 tickets available to the public. Breweries will be pouring on three floors of the McNichols Civic Center Building at 144 W. Colfax Ave.

Each of these moves are designed to create less crowding and more space for people to relax while sampling the beers. All attendees must present proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID or a negative test result within 48 hours of the event.

Pints for Prostates is a 501(c)3 non-profit charity and all net proceeds from Denver Rare Beer Tasting go towards the group’s awareness mission, education and support programs, and free prostate cancer screening programs.
