November 9, 2026 · Greeley, CO WeldWerks Brewing's annual Invitational Festival has its 2027 date. WeldWerks Brewing Co. brings back the WeldWerks Invitational Festival on Saturday, February 20, 2027, in the Centennial Ballroom at the DoubleTree by Hilton Greeley at Lincoln Park, 919 7th St., a couple of blocks from the WeldWerks taproom in Greeley, Colorado. WeldWerks invites what it calls its best buddy breweries from across the country and beyond, and the early list is stacked. Russian River, Other Half, Hop Butcher For The World, Horus Aged Ales, Perennial Artisan Ales, Great Notion, Breakside, Parish, Pinthouse, Fidens, Drekker, Phase Three and Bottle Logic are among the 40-plus names, along with Colorado neighbors like Cerebral, Casey Brewing and Blending, Westbound and Down, Outer Range and Our Mutual Friend. More breweries are still to be announced, and pour lists will be posted on the festival site. The festival is split into two identical three-hour sessions, an afternoon session from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and an evening session from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. Organizers say both sessions get equal amounts of every beer, so pick the time that suits you. Each ticket includes a commemorative tasting glass and samples from every participating brewery. Tickets go on sale Saturday, November 14, at 10 a.m. Mountain time through Eventbrite, and past years have sold quickly. Hotel block links go out at 11 a.m. that same morning on WeldWerks' Facebook and Instagram pages, with very limited rooms at the DoubleTree and a larger block at Candlewood Suites Greeley. The event is strictly 21 and over with a valid photo ID, there are no designated driver tickets, and all sales are final. If you chase rare beer, this is the one to plan around. Set an alarm for the morning of November 14 and book a room early if you want to stay close.
