It doesn't take much to fill up a weekend in June. There are so many choices in Denver, from hiking and biking to concerts, comedy and culture. But you should leave room for craft beer as well, because many breweries bring out their biggest and best events during the warmer months. As a result, it can be hard to decide which ones to attend.

To help, we've culled some of the very best, from a pair of music-and-beer extravaganzas to some style-focused tappings and a ten-day blowout at Falling Rock Tap House, which is celebrating its twentieth anniversary. Good luck getting your calendar in order this month — and make sure to respond to all those Facebook invites. Here are the ten best beer events in Denver and nearby for the month of June.

Friday, June 2, through Sunday, June 11
Falling Rock 20th Anniversary
Falling Rock Tap House
1919 Blake Street

Falling Rock Tap House will celebrate two decades of "no crap on tap" with a ten-day party brimming with numerous beer tappings, events, food, stories and special beers that owner Chris Black brewed over the past few weeks and months in collaboration with at least a dozen breweries across the United States. Things kick off June 2 at 5:30 p.m. with a dual tapping: "Reprising their role from ten years ago, Dry Dock Brewing will be sailing in with Chris’s homage to Mr. Hoppy, the beer he planned on tapping to kick off the 10th Anniversary. We are also thrilled to welcome our friends from San Diego as we tap into the Alpine/Green Flash/Cellar 3 brew – We Were Here First," Falling Rock says. "This was the first of the anniversary beers Chris brewed, a big, amazing and truly unique collaboration." Other anniversary beers are coming from Epic, Ecliptic, Upslope, Sierra Nevada, Comrade, Odell, Spangalang, New Belgium, Crooked Stave, Avery and Bristol. More details and stories about Black, Falling Rock and Colorado beer history will be rolled out on Falling Rock's web page. "One of the absolute best things about this celebration is spending time with the people," Black says. "Brewers, owners, brewery representatives, fellow publicans, regulars who are a massive reason we are here, friends from around the country and around the world are coming in to celebrate with us. We can’t thank you enough for all of the love and support."
