It seems we will continue to be blessed with good weather for yet another year of Peaks & Pours. However, "good" is gonna be pretty warm for tomorrow!

Some lessons must be learned the hard way, but we're glad we could learn this one from watching other events take place.

We plan to have plenty of WATER!!!!

Thanks to Colorado Springs Utilities, we'll have a water trailer of chilled water. Empty, refillable water bottles are allowed to be brought in to the venue. Plan accordingly!

Man cannot live on wh***ey alone. We are loading the lot with food trucks for Peaks and Pours 2026, so come hungry. On site August 22: Omalleys, ROC n RO, Up in Smoked Tamales, Tito's Burritos, and Bowl in the City. A full day of great pours goes down a lot easier with something good to eat between them. Roll through, fuel up, and pace yourself.

A bar in a jar, made right here in the Springs. Infuse-able Cocktails is bringing their craft cocktail mixes to Peaks and Pours 2026, all natural, handmade in small batches, with Colorado inspired flavors and sugar free options in the mix. It is the easy way to build a great drink, and a genuinely different take on the festival floor. Stop by, taste a few, and find your new go-to.

This one matters. We already welcomed the Wh***ey Valor Foundation to Peaks and Pours 2026, but their mission deserves its own moment. Wh***ey Valor is a 501(c)(3) founded by a Marine Corps veteran on a simple idea: raise a glass for a cause, and eliminate DUIs in the military community. One team, one mission, zero DUIs. This year they are providing rideshare vouchers to get 100 active duty, reserve, and veteran attendees home safely from the event. Enjoy the pours. Get home safe. That is the whole idea.

Now this is a piece worth bidding on. A huge thank you to BarToast.co for custom making two Peaks and Pours wh***ey flight boards and donating them to this year's silent auction. Handcrafted, one of a kind, and branded for the event, these are the kind of thing a wh***ey lover builds a home bar around. Both are up for grabs, and you can bid whether or not you are attending on August 22. Every dollar supports Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center.
