Our Mutual Friend Announces 10th Annual Gratitude Party

Our Mutual Friend Brewing (OMF) proudly announces Gratitude, a gratitude and appreciation party that the Denver brewery located at 2810 Larimer St. has put on since 2013. The festivities will include specialty releases including collaborations with Diebolt Brewing Company and Strange Craft Beer Company, spinning tunes, a selfie station, Gratitude-themed photo booth, a celebratory toast, Gratitude party bundles, and a chance to win OMF beer for a year (valued at $800).

Our Mutual Friend, hint: the mutual friend is beer, hosts Gratitude every year during the Saturday before the Great American Beer Festival (GABF). This celebration is a token of OMF’s appreciation for the craft beer industry and its beer-loving community.

“I can’t believe it’s been ten years of Gratitude for OMF,” says OMF Head Brewer and Co-Owner Jan Chodkowski. “We are so incredibly grateful to everyone who has come by over the past decade to enjoy our beer and support our little brewery on Larimer St.” 

The $75 Gratitude bundle, and $5 beer tokens will both be available for pre-order at the OMF website and at the taproom starting at 11 a.m. on Friday, September 1. Gratitude bundles include a micro-corduroy unstructured baseball hat, tote bag, two beer tokens, stickers, a can of Gratitude 10, a four-pack of Customer Appreciation IPA, and a keychain that could unlock the chance to win OMF beer for a year. Each keychain is numbered 1-100 and a number will be drawn at 4:30 p.m. the day of the party after a celebratory toast from the brewery.

Party bundles can be picked up starting at 11 a.m. on September 16 and will need to be picked up by October 15. For more information about how to participate in OMF’s win a beer for a year contest, visit the website.
