Denver Lamb Jam Tour 2025: A Tasty Celebration of Flavors and Style!

The 2025 Lamb Jam tour visited Denver at the Botanic Gardens on Aug. 20 and was another great success! The sold-out event was a beautiful summer evening filled with delicious American Lamb bites, refreshing drinks, and wonderful company.

Over 200 attendees, media guests and ALB board members joined the celebration, enjoying an unforgettable experience centered around flavor, community, and creativity. Guests tasted seven unique lamb dishes from top Denver chefs, an exciting live butchery demo from Western Daughters Butcher Shop. An interactive trivia session added a playful twist, with winners walking away with lamb cut giveaways.

Attendees also sampled an assortment of locally sourced sheep’s milk cheese from a nearby specialty cheese shop — a perfect pairing with the lamb offerings.

The evening featured wines from Iron Horse Vineyards, beers from Ratio Beerworks, and cocktails from Weber Ranch, along with light-hearted entertainment like a caricature artist, photo booth and music from a local artist.

The night concluded with the crowning of our 2025 Denver Lamb Jam Master:
Chef Ben Hildred, Two Hands — Lamb Spring Roll
Chef Blake Edmonds, Señor Bear — Lamb Shawarma Taco
Chef Kenny Minton, Coperta — Braised Lamb Arancini

"The Denver Lamb Jam event was a truly unforgettable evening that showcased the versatility of American Lamb while celebrating our local farmers, ranchers, and chefs,” said ALB Chairman Jeff Ebert.

According to a recent retail sales report, Denver is now one of the fastest-growing markets for lamb in the U.S.—a trend that was clearly reflected in the night’s energy and turnout.

With Denver’s event behind us, Lamb Jam heads to Boston for the final stop at First Street Market on Sept. 24. Tickets are available at AmericanLamb.com.
