Fort Collins Beer Week – Fourth Annual Brewers Olympics

The Fourth Annual Brewers Olympics takes place as the opening event of Fort Collins

Beer Week on Saturday, June 20, from noon-5pm. Go West T-Shirt Company hosts this rowdy,

raucous, family-friendly event during which teams from 10 local breweries square off in a series

of beer-related games. Food trucks, spectator activities, a bouncy house and plenty of beer will

be available. Entrance is $10. All proceeds benefit Save the Poudre.

“We’re delighted to partner with local breweries as the beneficiary of the Brewers

Olympics!” says Gary Wockner, Executive Director. “A clean, flowing river helps make great

beer and we need their help to protect it.” As part of the activities, Save the Poudre will host a

dunk tank featuring familiar faces from local bars and breweries.

Presented by Fortified Collaborations and Wilbur’s Total Beverage, Fort Collins Beer

Week is a community-wide “un-festival” that infuses a celebration of the brewing industry into

the city’s restaurants, breweries and businesses. “Fort Collins presents such great spirit and

creativity associated with brewing,” says Kristina Cash, Founder of Fortified Collaborations.

“This week really gives our brewers and business owners the opportunity to show off what

makes them shine.”
