🍻 WanderFest ’25: Beer, Bands & Big Celebrations in Golden
Nine years ago, New Terrain Brewing opened its doors at the foot of Table Mountain—and this September, they’re throwing one of the biggest anniversary parties yet. WanderFest ’25 (Sept 11–13) is three straight days of live music, rare beer releases, food trucks, and good vibes. The best part? It’s free entry all weekend, so you can soak up the fun without breaking the bank.
🎶 Live Music All Weekend
From funk and soul to bluegrass, brass, and jam bands, the lineup is stacked. Highlights include Magic Beans (Thursday), The Sweet Lillies and a Bob Marley tribute (Friday), and a full Saturday roster topped by Kendall Street Company and Pickin’ On The Dead.
🍺 Rare Beer Tent
For the beer geeks: this is your moment. Expect small-batch stunners like barrel-aged Eurotrip Belgian Tripel, Boroughs Barleywine aged in bourbon barrels, a cherry-tinged sour, and even a special WanderFest vintage stout blend. Plus, the official WanderFest Festbier will be flowing all month long.
🌮 Food Truck Heaven
Every day features a rotating lineup of food trucks—from smoky BBQ to Greek eats and Atomic Burgers—so no one leaves hungry. Saturday even adds an ice cream truck and a face painter, making it extra family-friendly.
✨ Why Go?
Because it’s basically the perfect Denver-area weekend: great beer, great music, mountain views, and a festival that feels like a community block party. Grab a commemorative pin at the door (while supplies last) and toast to nearly a decade of brewing magic at New Terrain.
