Ciao, Summer! 2026

will take place on

Sunday, September 20. 

Come enjoy a bouquet of low-ABV beers and a completely mellow vibe to say "ciao" to summer with us! 

Tickets are available now!  Join us to send off summer in style at our 6th annual Ciao, Summer! mini-festival on Sunday, September 20, 2026 from 12:00 - 4:00 p.m. Featuring 12 beers all coming in at 5.5% ABV or below, this sessionable-beer-palooza is the perfect way to unwind and enjoy Colorado's beautiful late summer. Ticket includes festival entry, all 12 beers (7 of which are festival exclusives!), a few fun pairings and a $5 donation to Neighbor to Neighbor (www.n2n.org).


This is a 21+ event and we will require valid ID at entry - please leave children and dogs at home. No physical tickets need to be picked up - you will check in at the festival with the name of the ticket purchaser. Email [email protected] with questions - please include "Ciao Summer 2026 Question" in your subject line!

Ciao, Summer! started in 2021 as an outdoor festival celebrating all beers sessionable!  We wanted one last bash of a Sunday afternoon lazing around in the gorgeous Colorado sunshine, enjoying beers that weren't going to put us under the table.  

We plan to hold this festival annually on a Sunday in the middle of September.  Look for festival and ticket info to come out mid-August, grab some friends and some sunscreen, and lounge around enjoying beer with us!
