If you're drinking, we're pouring - at Blues & Brews this Weekend!
Updated: Sep 16, 2022
It's one of our favorite weekends of the year - Telluride Blues & Brews!!! The leaves are starting to pop, the music is awesome, and the beers are amazing... and plentiful!
In a new Beer Garden on the festival grounds situated between the Main Stage and the Blues Stage, the Brewers Showcase will provide five tasting sessions. Less people and breweries will be present during these sessions than at the customary Grand Tasting, giving participants a better chance than in previous years to speak with the brewers directly.
In the House of Brews (in cans only), we'll be serving up:
- Face Down Brown
- OktoberFISH
- Russell Kelly Mosaic IPA
In the Colorado Brewers Guild tent, we'll be serving up our collaboration brews:
- Possible Haze Juicy IPA - A Collaboration with 4 Noses
- Box Canyon Braggot - A Local Collaboration with Smuggler's & Stronghouse
- 2 Bizzy Hazy IPA - A Collaboration with Ska Brewing
One session will be held on Sunday, two on Saturday afternoon, and two on Friday afternoon. 23 breweries will pour more than 60 different types of craft beer throughout four of the sessions, giving participants a chance to sample them. Tickets for the 2022 sessions are sold out.
In the Beer Garden, REGULAR TASTING SESSIONS, we'll be serving up:
- Mountain Beer
- See Forever Hazy Pale Ale
- Cold Feet Cold IPA
- Galloping Juice Grapefruit IPA
Friday, September 16 from 1-3 pm
Friday, September 16 from 4-6 pm
Saturday, September 17 from 1-3 pm
Sunday, September 18 from 11 am - 1 pm
30 or more exceptional, high ABV, barrel-aged, special, and non-traditional craft beers will be featured in the late Saturday session. The duration of this tasting is also two hours.
In the Beer Garden, HIGH ABV TASTING SESSION, we'll be serving up::
- Batch 1000 (Barrel Aged Barley Wine)
- Fishwater Project (Bourbon Barrel Aged Double IPA)
- Fire from the Mountain (Bourbon barrel aged Stout)
Saturday, September 17 from 4-6 pm (special, high ABV, barrel-aged, rare, wild and non-traditional craft beers)
Participants in tasting events must be at least 21 years old and have a primary festival access pass with them (Single-Day Festival Pass or 3-Day Festival Pass).
See you at Telluride Blues & Brews!!!
Blues & Brews is easily one of the best weekends of the year! That lineup of beers sounds fantastic, especially the barrel-aged ones. Honestly, while counting down the days for festival season or just killing time on my lunch breaks, I usually kick back and play a few browser games on minigame (it's totally free with no downloads needed, super fun for a quick break!). Hope everyone going has an awesome time enjoying great tunes and fresh brews!
Containers would arrive at the rail yard, but then sit for days before being transferred to trucks. No one could tell us when they would actually be ready for dispatch. That frustration ended when we switched to transload solution that handles rail-to-truck transfers with actual visibility. Their facility sits right between the Port of Tacoma and major rail yards, so cargo moves without sitting idle. They have heavyweight forklifts and conveyor systems to handle coils, oversized freight, and standard containers alike. Bonded warehousing and short-term storage are available when customs clearance takes longer than expected. The team provides consistent updates, so we are never left guessing. If rail-to-truck handoffs are your weak link, this service is worth a look.
Telluride looks amazing this year! There is nothing better than enjoying a Face Down Brown while listening to live blues. Between those tasting sessions, I love relaxing with a quick round of スイカゲーム on my phone. It is the perfect way to unwind while waiting for the next set.
Most events lean on prepaid tokens or wristband cuts to control pours, so this open-ended approach feels like a throwback to a simpler time. I do wonder how the taproom crew monitors folks who’ve clearly had plenty, but it’s a bold way to win over a crowd.

Reading about the “if you’re drinking, we’re pouring” mindset made me think of the usual festival wristband limits. It’s refreshing to see a brewery commit to that open-ended service, though I do wonder how they keep tabs on inventory through a whole weekend. Definitely a more trust-based approach.
