Bars for the geeks in Denver & the GABF

[DCWNY]

Heading out to Denver Thursday morning from Buffalo with 4 friends to hit the GABF this weekend and experience the fun in the area. Staying downtown.
Was wondering, I know there are tons of beer bars/brewpubs in the area, but any suggestions as far as the cream of the crop? Belgians are a must. Any help/info on this is appreciated!! Cheers!

The best beer bar in Denver is Falling Rock (http://www.fallingrocktaphouse.com/). They have their beer list on their site.

My favorite brewpub down there is Wynkoop (http://www.wynkoop.com/).

There are over 50 BeerAdvocates taking part in a beer crawl on Friday 10/1. Lots of tours, pints and a chance to meet some new beer geeks. Check it out:

It has been over 5 years since I was in Denver but I too enjoyed Wynkoop.

I'll second the Falling Rock. It's a great place with an amazing beer selection. And, during the GABF, they always have on tap some special kegs that some brewers bring out. Its a must stop place.

And the Wynkoop is also a great place, too.

i like falling rock...not a big fan of wynkoop, myself, but ymmv. supposed to be a reasonable new keg on draw at rock bottom.

i'm planning on going in for the friday evening session, the buses work for me then.
