Colorado Pint Day

Colorado Pint Day is a time-honored tradition that has reached cult-level status with beer lovers flocking to participating breweries every year to purchase Colorado Pint Day limited edition glassware. $1 of each pint glass sold will be donated to the Colorado Brewers Guild.

The theme for 2022 celebrates Colorado Parks & Wildlife and their 125th anniversary—and includes a fun twist. To find the artwork, we held a friendly competition among brewery employees. The Guild is proud to announce that Anna Long, graphic designer,and marketing manager from Copper Kettle Brewing Co. and CEO of Norlo Design, was the lucky winner.

Artist’s statement:

125 years of Colorado Parks and Wildlife calls for a true celebration. From managing all of Colorado’s wildlife to overseeing over 40 state parks, Colorado Parks and Wildlife know their job is anything but simple. State park visitors alone have increased by 30% in the past two years showing us what Coloradans truly value.

Just like the craft beer industry, it takes people that are passionate about their craft to keep it all running. Passion always attracts passion and that will ring true whether you’re in the craft beer industry or nurturing Colorado’s vast land.

This belief was the inspiration behind this design. To celebrate all of Colorado’s natural beauty it has to offer while acknowledging those Park Rangers and staff members that are behind it all. A Great Horned Owl represents the parks as they are round in every state park within Colorado, while a Park Ranger stands tall overlooking the land they so dearly protect.

From walking the state parks to brewing the perfect pint, let us raise a glass in supporting those that keep Colorado wild.
