Personally I'd love to go to an under-attended GABF. It's right in my backyard but I haven't been in 7-8 years because the crowds got so out of control.

Beer is like porn. You can buy it, but it's more fun to make your own.

As much as I hoped to attend GABF this year I would be surprised if Colorado and Denver are allowing large events by then. Even if it takes place unless we are 100% past any risk of infection I can't see wanting to attend an event where there is a lot of hand to mouth activity with food and beverages that soon. It is just not worth the infection risk to go to a beer festival.

Speaking of Denver and a Colorado, I wonder if they’ll have the annual 420 celebration today.

My thought exactly. I'm surprised they just don't tentatively move it to November and re-evaluate later.

No public events or gatherings allowed in Denver under Stay At Home Orders.

It was canceled but the city government put out, through official channels, videos encouraging people to get high at home.
