Thousands of people flock to Denver every year in October for the Great American Beer Festival, during which time there isn't a single tap in the city left untouched— including the often ignored taps at hotel bars and restaurants.

In the week leading up to this citywide festival, rooms might be scarce, however you're likely to find some space at one of these hotel barstools. Year-round and especially during GABF, these hotel bar programs are dedicated to serving small-batch, locally brewed beer, and often host craft beer-centric dinners and other events. Whether you're in town for the fest, or just planning your next night out, consider posting up at one of these craft-savvy digs.
