The Colorado Brewers Guild Announces 215+ Participating Breweries for 11th Annual Colorado Pint Day 

The Colorado Brewers Guild Celebrates a double milestone with limited Edition glassware designed by Denver Doodle Artist Joe Palec

DENVER, Colorado (April 8, 2026)— The Colorado Brewers Guild (CBG), a nonprofit trade organization for independent craft breweries in the State of Craft Beer, announces the 215+ member breweries across Colorado that will participate in the 11th annual Colorado Pint Day on Wednesday, April 29. 

On Colorado Pint Day, participating member breweries statewide will sell limited edition collectible pint glasses, with $1 from every glass sold going directly to the CBG’s mission of promoting, protecting, and propelling its members through advocacy, education, and public awareness.

This year’s collectible glass features a design by Denver Doodle Artist Joe Palec, whose artwork celebrates a historic double milestone: Colorado’s 150th birthday and the United States’ 250th birthday. Palec’s signature style brings a prehistoric, campy, and uniquely Colorado flair to the glass, complete with dinosaurs and other animals set against a classic Rocky Mountain scene—inviting beer lovers to discover new details with every sip.

“Colorado has the fifth most craft breweries per capita in the U.S., generating over $2.4 billion in economic impact, but independent craft breweries still need our support, especially during slower seasons,” said CBG Executive Director Shawnee Adeson. “Colorado Pint Day is a simple, fun way for Coloradans to invest directly in the industry that has made this state a craft beer destination.”

The beloved fundraiser is strategically held on a Wednesday during a typically slower season for breweries, making community support on this day especially impactful. Now in its 11th year, Colorado Pint Day has become a statewide tradition and a must-attend occasion for craft beer enthusiasts.

A full list of participating breweries is available on the website.
