The Great American Beer Festival will storm Denver from Sept. 24-26. With nearly 500 breweries attending this year's sold out event, it's going to take a lot of coverage to do it justice meaning Examiner.com and BeerTapTV.com will be collaborating on a series of videos from the festival.

Hee! Video looks great! Wish I could be out there too. What's that lovely dark beer you guys are drinking?
A nice Vanilla Porter from Breckenridge Brewery. Very tasty way to break up a Wednesday afternoon break from the office.
