The Denver Broncos are adding beer vending machines and expanding food choices at Empower Field at Mile High for the 2026 NFL season, according to a Denver Gazette report. The automated beer dispensers are intended to speed service and reduce the time fans spend away from their seats, continuing the stadium's broader investment in self-service and checkout-free concession technology.
The stadium is also introducing 11 food vendors, including nine Colorado businesses, and more than 120 menu items. One of the largest additions is the Beast in a Blanket, a 2-foot hot dog topped with cheese, brisket, avocado cream, onions, jalapenos and sauce before being wrapped in puff pastry.
Alcohol purchases remain subject to stadium rules requiring identification from all customers, regardless of age, with a limit of two alcoholic beverages per transaction. Beer sales generally end after the third quarter of Broncos games.
