What happens when you combine the magical powers of Bacon and Beer? You get an event that should not be missed by anyone with taste buds.
This weekend, the Bacon and Beer Festival hosted by EatBoston and Denver Off the Wagon returns for its 2nd year. And just like last year, the oh-so-wise people of Denver have snatched up all of the tickets to this oh-so-tasty event. But if you hurry, you can still score a seat at the bacon-filled brewer’s dinner happening the night before.
Besides filling the bellies of attendees, this event also helps the community. Proceeds will benefit Project Angel Heart and Metro CareRing which help to provide hunger relief and nutritious meals in Denver.
