| Great American Beer Festival September 16 - 18, 2010 Denver, Colorado |
| A wide look across the Denver Convention Center during the Saturday afternoon session. |
| We checked in with some of our favorite Midwestern craft brewers during the Thursday and Saturday sessions. We asked them what brought them to Denver for the Great American Beer Festival. The video below shows what they told us. |
| First stop inside - get your sample glass. |
| The crew from Beer Nation made the trip from NYC. |
| Craft brewing legends Garrett Oliver of Brooklyn Brewery and Ken Grossman of Sierra Nevada Brewing Company. |
| The crew from Ohio's Fat Heads Brewery celebrate their Silver Medal for their awesome Head Hunter IPA. |
| Lederhosen are not a requirement, but always encouraged. |
| Michiganders represent. Go Blue! |
| Fact: drinking too many IPAs can cause a strange reaction. |
| The gentle spirit of the great Michael Jackson watched over the revelers. |
| Bless the hundreds of volunteers who did everything from pour beer to taking tickets to cleaning up broken |
| Jim Koch of Sam Adams used his time in Denver to announce the winners of the Longshot Homebrew Contest. |
| Two California craft-beer fans. |
| Sweet nectar of the gods. |
| Zerohero helped make this the greenest GABF yet, with almost every bit of trash created being recyled or |
| Inside the "You Be The Judge" booth, where you can see if you have what it takes to be a real beer judge. |

| Fans of great beer know where to go every September. |
| Michael with David (left) and Shawn (right) of Titletown Brewing Company who took home their first Gold Medal for their Bohemian-style Boathouse Pilsner. |
| You don't want to be the person who lets this happen to your glass. Luckily there were plastic sample glasses at three of the four sessions. Only the Members-Only session had glass. |
| Two craft beer fans wait patiently to try a beer from Ohio's Great Lakes Brewing Company. |
