From the River North Arts District to Royal Gorge railroad, steins are set to be flowing with seasonal selections of craft beer and to be held up with costumed arms. Wherever you are in the wider Denver area, these thirteen events are bound to rile up this year's Oktoberfest season. And yes - costumes are always encouraged.
