UIPDATE: WeldWerks Brewing Co. has made the difficult decision to postpone the 2021 WeldWerks Invitational to 2022. As the brewery continued to monitor public health concerns, they did receive feedback from participating breweries, nearly half, that expressed that they would either not attend or were on the fence. Knowing that this would lessen the experience of the WeldWerks Invitational, the brewery has decided to look to next year to host the event.
All ticket holders will be automatically refunded in full. 2021 ticket holders will have the first right of refusal for 2022 tickets. The 2022 WeldWerks Invitational is currently slated for the mid-year.
WeldWerks Brewing Co. is proud to announce the participating breweries at this year’s WeldWerks Invitational. This year’s brewery lineup showcases the country’s best breweries pouring their rarest and most highly sought after beers on Saturday, October 30, 2021 at the DoubleTree at Lincoln Park in Greeley.
