Pint Day Is Calling…

Happy Monday, Longmont!🧡

Something’s brewing this week, and it’s not your average happy hour. There’s a reason locals start planning ahead (and maybe texting friends in all caps). Keep reading… because this one’s part tradition, part treasure hunt, and all about good beer.

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.

🍺 Pint Glasses, Local Pours & a Midweek Reason to Celebrate

If you needed an excuse to grab a midweek beer… this is it. Colorado Pint Day is one of those “locals know” traditions that turns an ordinary Wednesday into a mini celebration across town. And honestly? It’s as much about the glass as it is the beer.

🎉 Colorado Pint Day @ 300 Suns Brewing
📍 300 Suns Brewing | ⏰ All day (April 29) | 🎟️ Glasses starting at $3.50 with a full pour
→ Limited-edition pint glasses are back—and yes, people absolutely collect these. This year’s design (by local artist Joe Palec) celebrates Colorado’s 150th and the USA’s 250th, so expect something worth showing off in your cabinet. Bonus: $1 from every glass supports the Colorado Brewers Guild, so your beer run is technically for a good cause.

🍻 More Longmont Breweries Joining the Fun
→ It’s not just 300 Suns—this is a full-on brewery crawl waiting to happen. Participating spots include:

Left Hand Brewing Company — a Longmont staple that always shows up strong
Wibby Brewing — lagers + patio vibes = easy yes
Pumphouse Brewery — Main Street energy and solid pours
The Post Brewing Co. — fried chicken + beer combo never misses
Bearded Brewer Artisan Ales — small batch, big personality
Oskar Blues (Tasty Weasel Taproom) — craft beer legends doing their thing

→ Most spots will have their own spin on the day, but the mission stays the same: grab a limited glass, sip something local, and support Colorado’s craft beer scene while you’re at it.

🥂 Pro Tip: These glasses go fast. Like, “I’ll just swing by after work” might be too late—fast. If you want one, plan ahead… or accept your fate and just enjoy the beer.

Whether you’re collecting, crawling, or just casually stopping in for one, this is one of those small-but-mighty Longmont traditions that always delivers.
