Great American Beer Festival 2006

2006 marked the 25th anniversary of the Great American Beer Festival in Denver. Skyscraper Brewing Company made its public debut there on September 28-30.

The crowds were immense. Each of the four tasting sessions sold out, so there was a capacity crowd of 13,000 people each session.

Phil, Vanessa, and Lauren manned (womanned?) the Skyscraper booth. Jeff performed mobile advertising.

GABF was our first taste of the true VIP treatment that should always be given to brewery reps.
