Become a Beer Festival Expert

,

We are excited to be participating in many beer festivals and other events this summer, including the Rocky Mountain Brewfest, Colorado Brewer’s Festival, and Denver Summer Brewfest. With all of these fun opportunities to sample beers from New Planet Beer and other Colorado breweries, we thought we’d share some of our advice as tenured festival attendees and fellow beer-lovers. To get the most out of a beer festival, follow these simple tips to have an enjoyable beer fest experience:


  1. Eat before the event: satisfying your hunger before you get there will help to lessen the effects of the alcohol in the beers you will be sampling.
  2. Stay hydrated: staying hydrated will help to minimize the effects of the heat and sun. Plus, sipping water between tastings will help to cleanse your palate so you can savor the individual characteristics of each brew.
  3. Use sunscreen: in the spirit of outdoor events, remember to apply sunscreen before arriving. If you plan on staying more than four hours, you should reapply throughout the day.
  4. Visit your top brewery selections first: research the breweries attending and sample your top selections first. The more samples you taste, the more fatigued your palate will become and the less likely you’ll taste all of the complexities and differences that make each brew great.
  5. Learn about the beers and breweries: to get the most out of your attendance, make your tastings educational experiences. Ask the staff questions, learn how they brew their beer and what makes them different from everyone else.
  6. Don’t be afraid to try new things: Beer festivals will often give you the opportunity to try beers you’ve never sampled before. So don’t be afraid to enjoy that smoked porter, farmhouse ale, hoppy IPA or our specialty– gluten-free beer. You never know when you’ll find a new favorite.

Check out our events section for the most up-to-date listing of fun festivals and events that New Planet Beer will be participating in. Come see us, say hello and try our gluten-free beer – Tread Lightly Ale and 3R Raspberry Ale.

Remember to be responsible and have fun!

Whole Foods samples New Planet Beer

New Planet Beer had the pleasure of serving samples and conversing with customers at Whole Foods in Denver, CO. The Tamarac Whole Foods is the only Colorado location that has the ability to sell alcohol, so tasting events take place every Saturday from 1-6pm. In addition to two premium wine options, Tread Lightly Ale flowed freely throughout the day. Enthusiastic patrons who bought a six pack during our visit also received a one-of-a-kind organic New Planet Beer t-shirt. In addition, everyone that came by our both received a bottle opener and an informational card describing the unique background of gluten-free beer. The talk of the day was centered around the forthcoming release of the New Planet 3R Raspberry Ale which should be hitting the shelves this summer. Be sure to keep an eye out for this Raspberry delight as it’s sure to be a hit. Special thanks to the kind team members of Whole Foods for supporting New Planet Beer and their assistance throughout the day. We look forward to many similar events this summer of which will be promoted through our website.
