Best Annual Festival

Great American Beer Festival

Beer brings people together, and The Great American Beer Festival embodies that sentiment like no other.

Founded in 1982, the festival earns the label of the largest collection of U.S. beer ever served each year. Taking place virtually in 2020, the GABF is expected to be back as a live event in the fall of 2021.

Beer in contention for a coveted GABF medal is judged by a panel of industry professionals from around the world before a gold, silver or bronze medal is awarded to products that best fit the category.

Best Consignment/Thrift/Pawn Shop

arc Thrift Stores

arc Thrift Stores operate throughout Colorado, each store stocked with an always-changing variety of treasures. Shoppers find much of what they need for the home, kitchen, closet and more, all at a fraction of what the goods would cost new.

Then there are the environmental and social components. Each year, thanks to arc, 100 million pounds of goods are diverted from Colorado’s landfills; 65 million pounds of that is cloth that is repurposed, according to the company.

Another pillar of arc is its mission to support and empower those with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

“We believe that all people with intellectual and developmental disabilities should have the opportunity to decide how they live, learn, work, and play,” arc’s website states.
