Boozy exercise, trivia nights, brewer meet-and-greets on tap for Denver’s Skyline Beer Garden in 2018

Skyline Park’s summer-long beer garden will return this year with Sweat & Sip exercise classes, trivia nights, a Meet the Maker series, and more weekly live-music offerings, organizers said.

As with last year, Skyline Park Beer Garden will take over 40,000 square feet of open-air space along Denver’s 16th Street Mall — between 16th and 17th Streets on Arapahoe Street — with family-friendly activities and games including giant Jenga, foosball, ping pong, a nine-hole miniature golf course and cornhole.

The centerpiece, of course, is the dozen on-tap Colorado craft brews, the selection of which rotates throughout the season, beginning June 8 and continuing through mid-October. The beer garden also will feature street tacos, salads and desserts, and a Friday and Saturday night live music schedule, weather-permitting, with seating for 350 people and free Wi-Fi.

The beer garden runs 11 a.m.-10 p.m. each day, while live music runs 5-8 p.m. on Fridays and 3-6 p.m. on Saturdays. A full schedule is available at skylinebeergarden.com/entertainment.

New this year: Sweat & Sip exercise classes that combine workouts with beer-drinking, including a lunchtime barre class, after-work yoga, strength and fitness boot camps, and pilates, among others. Sunday Craft Classes this year include Beer Gardening, Canvas & Cocktails (“paint and sip”) and more. Trivia nights will take place 6-8 p.m. on Tuesdays.

Brewers scheduled to appear at the brewer meet-and-greets include 4 Barrel Brewing Co. (June 14), Stone Brewing Co. (June 21), Breckenridge Brewing (June 28), Kona Brewing (July 12), River North Brewing Co. (July 19), Firestone Walker (July 26) and more to be announced.

Last year, the beer garden, sponsored by Downtown Denver Partnership and the Downtown Denver Business Improvement District, welcomed nearly 34,000 people and sold about 30 kegs a week, according to the partnership.
