šŸŗ The Day Arvada Beer Lovers Wait All Year For

wha - 4.24.png

Happy Monday, Arvada!

There’s a certain kind of buzz that only happens once a year, and if you know, you know. It’s the kind of day where showing up ā€œlaterā€ is actually a mistake. Keep reading, because this one comes down to timing, a little luck, and a really good pint.

What’s Colorado known for having more of than almost any other state?

What’s Happenin’ is growing — want to join us?

Last month our local newsletters across Boulder, Arvada, Fort Collins, Longmont, and Denver were opened 177,000+ times by locals looking for things to do and places to go.

As we continue to grow, I’m looking to add one or two people to help with partnerships with local businesses.

If you love supporting local businesses and want to help grow these newsletters, just reply to this email and tell me a little about yourself.

šŸ» Colorado Pint Day Hits Arvada

šŸ» Colorado Pint Day Hits Arvada

If you’re even remotely into craft beer, Colorado Pint Day is already on your radar.

Here’s what’s going down on Wednesday, April 29 across Arvada:

  • šŸ•› When: Noon to 9PM

  • šŸ“ Where: LUKI Brewery + Odyssey Beerwerks

  • šŸŽŸļø Cost: ~$3 upgrade with a beer or ~$7–$8 for the glass

  • šŸŗ Who: 21+ only

🄤 Why People Show Up Early

This isn’t just about grabbing a drink. It’s 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

šŸŽØ This Year’s Theme

ā€œCheers 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.

šŸ” Extras Worth Knowing

  • šŸ¦ž Cousins Maine Lobster truck at LUKI

  • šŸŗ Return of Purple Cobras IPA

  • šŸ’ø $1 from every glass goes to the Colorado Brewers Guild

šŸŗ Where to Go

  • LUKI Brewery

  • Odyssey Beerwerks

Both are participating, both will be busy, and both will likely sell out.

šŸ» More Arvada Spots Joining Pint Day

If LUKI or Odyssey gets packed (they will), you’ve got solid backup options around town:

  • New Image Brewing – Arvada
    šŸ“ 5614 Olde Wadsworth Blvd
    Right in Olde Town, easy to pair with a full bar crawl.

  • Resolute Brewing Tap & Cellar
    šŸ“ 18148 W 92nd Ln Suite 100
    A bit tucked away, which honestly might work in your favor.

  • SomePlace Else Brewery – Arvada
    šŸ“ 6425 W 52nd Ave, Unit 6
    Low-key spot if you want to skip the bigger crowds.

  • Stay Tuned Brewing
    šŸ“ 5127 W 64th Ave
    Another solid neighborhood option to grab a glass before they’re gone.
