Event Details

Come join us to celebrate GABF weekend!

Laws Whiskey House

The Rocky Mountain District MBAA is excited to welcome brewers and industry friends from near and far for an evening of fermentation, whiskey, and camaraderie at Laws Whiskey House!
Just over a mile from Levitt Pavilion and right off Broadway, it’s an easy stop after Friday’s GABF setup—and you don’t have to be an MBAA member to join us.

Your registration includes:

  • 2 cocktails
  • 1 raffle ticket
  • 1 bingo card
  • A tour of the distillery
  • Food from local favorite Illegal Pete’s

We’ll also have raffles throughout the evening featuring bottles, industry goodies, and opportunities for MBAA memberships and educational scholarships.

Whether you’re local to the Rocky Mountain District or in town for GABF, come meet some new faces, catch up with old ones, and kick off the weekend with the brewing community.

Here’s to a weekend full of beer... with a little whiskey along the way.
