Spirits festivals and shamrock pub crawls

Denver Event of the Week
Get on board with a serious celebration of spirits at DSTILL, a week-long experience (starting Monday, March 10th) of what's good in American small-batch distilling. Enjoy tastings, special events, and workshops featuring the best distillers, producers, and bartenders from around the country. The event lasts an entire week, so it might be smart to go in with the whole "it's a marathon not a sprint" mindset.
