At places like Prague’s U Zlatého Tygra or Lokál, tanks of fresh beer are a pub’s centerpiece, displayed under the glass bar or front and center in the barroom. The “tankpub” label and inspiration come directly from the tankovna pubs of the Czech Republic. “I think it was around 2017 I got it into my head-my idealistic mindset-I wish there was a brewery that only made one beer.” He relishes growing up in Philadelphia, what he calls the “most mature beer scene in the U.S.,” where, for generations, craft breweries have coexisted alongside beer bars, respecting Old World styles and not simply cashing out for the latest trend. and now the director of operations at Sacred Profane, referring to the boom in seemingly indistinguishable hazy IPAs and pastry stouts pursued by a hypebeast-like culture.
“I think what has happened over the last 10 years is not within my purview,” says Michael Fava, the former head brewer at Oxbow Brewing Co. Walk into the recently opened Sacred Profane, however, and you’ll be met with only two choices: light or dark lager. Whereas the beer industry was once dominated by a monoculture producing the same-tasting “lite” lager, the craft beer revolution offered, instead, a vast array of flavorful options: roasty stouts, funky farmhouse beers and bitter IPAs, a slew of new options every single month. Throughout the event, Sierra Nevada will pour many of their classic styles along with six rare, specialty beers and a unique "festival-only" flavor.Walk into any craft brewery today, and you’ll see a good dozen or more different beers on tap. Sierra Nevada Brewing Company will return as the long-standing craft beer partner to the Telluride Blues & Brews Festival. To top it all off, the Showcase will kick off with a multi-course beer pairing dinner that will strategically pair modern mountain dishes with special craft beer. The Showcase also introduces a themed bar presented by the Colorado Brewers Guild serving one-of-a-kind, multi-brewery, collaborative beers along with a House of Brews bar with rotating beer styles each day.
The Showcase will host five intimate tasting sessions with 21 breweries pouring unlimited samples for attendees. The new Brewers Showcase is a multi-faceted experience with events spanning the entire festival weekend. Remaining true to our roots, this new experience replaces our traditional Grand Tasting and provides attendees with expanded opportunities to interact directly with breweries and to sample rare, new and classic beer offerings while supporting local, regional and national craftsmanship in the craft beer industry.
Two irregular years - one without a festival (2020) followed by one with a festival but without a Grand Tasting (2021) - have given us the chance to step back and evaluate where we stand, as one of the original craft beer events in Colorado.Īfter months of market research, phone calls with industry colleagues and a lot of careful thought, we are thrilled to introduce the new Brewers Showcase at the Telluride Blues & Brews Festival. Just as brewers innovate and change their craft with time, so do the festivals that celebrate it.
