Hops For Habitat

Good times were had in the wilderness outside of the city!
I rarely venture out into the sticks, but this was a fun experience! There were a lot of breweries and some great music acts. I loved how they were selling oversized water buffalo hats and then people were wearing them! Also, the photo option was a hoot, gimme a bonnet, a chicken, and a pitchfork anytime for a picture!
It was thankfully not too sunny or rainy, as there was no shelter. And there were prairie dog holes and signs warning of rattle snakes so that was crazy. But, in the end all of the money goes to a good cause and that is what matters.
It would’ve been good if some food was included in the price or a bottle of water, but it is a charity event. I had some great beers and ciders, talked to some friendly brewers and got some stickers too!

Good times had by all. The beers were flowing, the tunes were pumping and the people seemed to be having fun. I’d say all in all you couldn’t really have a better beer fest in the outskirts of Aurora. Being from Denver this was quite a hike for myself and I had to be a bit cognizant of how many samples I did try, but I still had a great time.
All of the breweries seemed to have brought out there big guns and were very willing to give a bit of a spiel on each. I was very happy to see the breweries in Parker and Highlands Ranch were there, since I rarely get out to this area to try out beers. Everything was delicious and overall I would recommend anyone to attend next year.
Along with the good beers the bands were cool covering classic hits, as well as, giving some fresh new songs. They also had a little photo area where we could dress up as prairie folk. Overall great experience!
