Get Bubbly with Denver Seltzerland at Overland Golf Course

From White Claw to Truly, fizzy and canned alcoholic beverages have undisputedly become the symbol of summer. Almost every distillery, brewery and other spirituous drink producer has dipped its toes into the world of seltzers — but who really is the best? Beer lovers step aside, it’s time for the spiked seltzer enthusiasts of Denver to put their favorites to the test at this traveling festival.

Seltzerland 2022Seltzerland is a national tour that hits outdoor venues, golf courses and stadiums from coast to coast of the United States. Each site is converted into a summer drinker’s paradise — complete with inflatables, tents and photo ops from corner to corner. In between sips, patrons can participate in seltzer pong, lemonade ladder golf, cornhole and other activities to take a break from all the pursuing. A live DJ will also be on-site to sustain everyone’s energy during this (fingers crossed) sunny day.

Produced by Cannonball Productions, this company is also responsible for other famous culinary events including the Bacon and Beer Classic and Taco Takeover. At Denver’s upcoming experience, a portion of proceeds will be donated to Forage Forward. This organization is dedicated to supporting both local and national non-profits including ones focused on social justice, food banks, sustainability and food education.
