Some beer festivals are about the beer. Some are about the music. Telluride Blues & Brews is about both, at the same time, in one of the most jaw-dropping locations in North America. The 32nd annual Telluride Blues & Brews Festival runs September 18–20, 2026 in Telluride, Colorado — a National Historic Landmark District nestled at the end of a canyon surrounded by waterfalls and 13,000-foot peaks.The 2026 headliners are not messing around: Jon Batiste, Taj Mahal & Keb’ Mo’, and Marcus King Band lead a stacked lineup that also includes Samantha Fish, G. Love & Special Sauce, Tab Benoit, Charlie Musselwhite & GA-20, and many more across four stages and five late-night Juke Joint venues.On the beer side, 25 hand-picked breweries bring their finest to the Brewers Showcase, with two afternoon tasting sessions featuring unlimited samples, rare and high-ABV pours on Sunday, and Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. headlining the bar program with rotating rare releases. The festival also hosts a six-course beer pairing dinner at the Madeline Hotel — the kind of thing that turns beer people into food people and vice versa.The Details:📅 September 18–20, 2026📍 Telluride Town Park, Telluride, Colorado🎟️ 3-Day Festival Passes from $300🏕️ Camping available (Warner Field + Town Park Campground)🍺 25 breweries · Two tasting sessions · Rare pour showcaseIf you’re only making it to one beer festival this year, make it this one.
