Derive Brewing Call me a sucker for fun beer names, and I'll remind you of the time you bought a beer because it was named after an Iron Maiden song. Anyway, I'm looking forward to Derive's Italian Pilsner, Unlimited Breadsticks. And Mr. Tastee, a Pastry Sour. And Turtlenecks and Goldchains, a NEIPA.
Diamond Spring Brewing I'm finally getting in Marzen mode, so bring on Bavarian PretzALE, a dark-wheat spin on the traditional style with crushed sourdough pretzels in the mash.
Excel Brewing A tequila barrel-aged Pumpkin? That would be a first for me. Excel's Bruja will be pouring in the Fright Themed Bar at GABF.
False Idol Looking forward to this hyped TX brewery. They'll be pouring a Hefeweizen, Saison, Mexican Lager, NEIPA, and Imperial Stout.
Fat Head's Can't do GABF without hitting up Fat Head's, if only for Hop Juju. Oh, maybe a sip of what may be the quintessential American IPA, Head Hunter. It's a six-time medal winner at GABF/WBC.
FiftyFifty Brewing Want to get a shot of Eclipse Bourbon Barrel-Aged Stout, of one the original sought after Imperial Stouts back in the day. Let's see how it holds up to today's standards.
Firehouse Brewing Hey, a South Dakota sighting. They're pouring Infernal Glow, a Gose with Persian saffron and Mediterranean sea salt.
Firestone Walker 30 WBC medals. 56 GABF medals. And I won a trophy for baseball when I was 14. This brewery has had so many memorable beers, but I'm most excited for Rip This Joint, an Imperial Stout collab with Side Project.
Fremont Brewing They always bring the big stuff, don't they?? Rusty Nail, BA Batch 8000, 2021 Coffee Cocao Vanilla BA Dark Star...whew.
Fritz Family Brewers They're just far enough from Denver (Niwot) to be an annoying drive, but worth it for the lagers. You can skip the drive and hit up their booth and try 5 of their wonderful beers.
Ghost Town The Oakland, CA West Coast IPA specialists are back, and bringing their 2023 WBC Bronze medalist Nose Goblin DIPA.
Highland Park Los Angeles brewery Highand park is at GABF for the first time I can remember. They be pouring DDH Pillow, 2023 WBC Gold Hazy DIPA, as well as flagship hoppy Pilsner Timbo Pils.
Hold Out Brewing If you've been to Austin, TX, you know very well why they brew so many lagers. Hold Old will be pouring Hesky Czesky Czech Pils and Neu! Pils German Pilsner.
Icicle Brewing Co. This Washington state brewery does IPAs right. They've taken Gold medals in both hazy and American style IPA categories at WBC, and will have those respective winners, Alpenglow and Dragontail at their booth.
