The Brewfest was born at Purgatory Resort in 1998, so is in its 24th year in 2023. It was held at the ski resort through 2007, and in 2008 moved to Downtown Durango where it became a fundraiser for our local United Way. Over the past 15 years, the event has grown from 300 attendees and 15 breweries to 2,000 attendees and nearly 40 breweries.
