Denver Bacon & Beer Festival Recap

16 Dec

Last Sunday, Forkly, along with Eat Boston and Denver Off the Wagon, hosted Denver’s inaugural Bacon & Beer Festival!

We over bacon-ed, over beer-ed and were in a food coma for much of Sunday.

Some great surprises during the day too– like the best dressed attendees, who came all decked out!

The dishes, beer, restaurants and breweries were amazing and the crowd was spectacular! Thank you to all who attended and in particular to the hard working restaurants and brewers–many of whom gave up their day off to be there with us all.

Enjoy some fun food, brewer, and chef reviews from Eater Denver and Westword’s Cafe Society…as well as some fun Westword photos, too. Take a peek below at some of the tastes posted by Forkly friends– and Cheers to more Forkly feasts & fests in 2013!
