What we’re about
Do you like spending time outdoors looking for wildlife, including birds? Do you also like drinking a cold one after? I decided to start this group after coming across announcements for Birds and Beers events in other states. This group will be different in that we will spend some time birding before we go grab a pint. The Denver Metro area offers a variety of great birding spots with local breweries/pubs nearby so we'll have plenty of locations to choose from.
Not a bird nor beer expert? Don't worry. This group is open to anyone with an interest in learning more about both. My hope is that all participants will learn a bit more about birds while meeting fellow nature lovers in the process. We'll get together semi-regularly with meeting times alternating between late afternoons (so you can get in a day's work) and weekends.
Sample location pairings include City Park followed by Vine Street Pub, Three Sisters Mountain Park in Evergreen and Little Bear Saloon, Cherry Creek State Park and Dry Dock Brewery. Do you have ideas on where you'd like to go? Suggestions are welcome and even encouraged.

See all- Birding & Beers 13-Year Anniversary WalkRocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge, Commerce City, CO
We’re turning 13! To celebrate over a decade of birds, beers, and community, we’re shaking things up this year.
Our very first Birding & Beers event was held at City Park, and while we’ll always appreciate previous anniversary walks there together, the birding just hasn’t delivered in recent years.
To give ourselves the best chance at a memorable anniversary outing, we’re heading to Lake Ladora at Rocky Mountain Arsenal, where the bird activity has been off the charts lately. Fingers crossed the trend holds!
After the walk, we’ll raise a glass to 13 years of birdy camaraderie with a visit to Station 26 Brewing. Whether you've been with us since the beginning or this is your first time out, we’d love to have you join us.
Bring your binoculars and your thirst—Cheers to 13 Years of Birding & Beers!We'll meet at the Ladora Lake Trailhead just north of the Havana Ponds parking lot. Carpooling is recommended! Overflow parking is available at the lot near the restrooms west of the lake.
