Krispy King Lager Competition & Festival

Make room, Alpha King! The Krispy King Lager Competition is here, where only the best-tasting, crispiest lagers are crowned winners!

Our competition is unlike any other, as all beers are submitted in kegs and judged from those same kegs. We then tap those same kegs and serve them to the customers. You are drinking the exact same beer that the judges had. Each beer is 5.5% abv or below!

The KKLC 2026 promises to be a fun experience for all!

SCHEDULE:
Doors open at 2pm!

Live Music, Vendors & Food

Parking: No general parking available in our lot, only handicap parking. ALL parking is across the street next to the Rock Rest Bar in the grass field. Use caution when crossing the street!

Beer Tokens – NEW! Purchase beer tokens when you arrive to keep the lines moving & beer in your hand! 1 token = 1 beer. More you buy, the more you save. No tabs will be started.

Transportation: bus transportation from and to Denver (exact location TBD)

This event is open to the public and free to attend. Competition beers will be on tap for consumers to enjoy.
