š» Colorado Pint Day Hits Arvada
If youāre even remotely into craft beer, Colorado Pint Day is already on your radar.
Hereās whatās going down on Wednesday, April 29 across Arvada:
š When: Noon to 9PM
š Where: LUKI Brewery + Odyssey Beerwerks
šļø Cost: ~$3 upgrade with a beer or ~$7ā$8 for the glass
šŗ Who: 21+ only
š„¤ Why People Show Up Early
This isnāt just about grabbing a drink. Itās about getting your hands on the limited-edition pint glass that drops once a year.
Glasses sell out fast (sometimes within hours)
Most spots limit it to 2 per person
At LUKI: first 50 glasses = free sticker
Some past-year glasses will be available at a discount
šØ This Yearās Theme
āCheers to CO 150th & USA 250th Celebrationsā
The 2026 design leans into a playful, almost chaotic birthday party vibe:
Dinosaurs
Colorado wildlife
Rocky Mountain scenery
Hidden details all over the glass (like a cereal box you keep staring at)
Designed by Denver-based artist Joe Palec, known for his detailed, doodle-heavy style.
š Extras Worth Knowing
š¦ Cousins Maine Lobster truck at LUKI
šŗ Return of Purple Cobras IPA
šø $1 from every glass goes to the Colorado Brewers Guild
šŗ Where to Go
LUKI Brewery
Odyssey Beerwerks
Both are participating, both will be busy, and both will likely sell out.
