Maybe I’ve only noticed this because I have a slight obsession with anything coffee-flavored, but there seems to be quite a few Colorado distilleries creating their own coffee liqueur recently. A few that come to mind include Leopold Bros (Denver), Roundhouse (Boulder) and one that I just discovered this past weekend, Richardo’s (Lyons). Well, it [...]

Wow. Another epic #BigBeers in the books. The Wagon has a hard time turning down a good beer festival, and not to mention one that is located in one of the most beautiful places on earth, Vail, Colo. Even more, we got to taste bevvies that we’ve never seen before and had quality conversations with [...]

It is around this time each year when Great American Beer Festival nears closer and we beer nerds find ourselves anxiously anticipating something that we consider better than Christmas and most definitely better than each of our 21st birthdays (for a variety of reasons).

If you didn’t get your fill of great out-of-state beer during GABF, you’re in luck. Deschutes Brewery, out of Bend, Ore., is taking over Denver and Boulder for “Base Camp,” a week of special beer tastings, beer and food pairings, and appearances by Woody, the brewery’s giant beer barrel on wheels. Deschutes describes its Base Camp [...]

Great American Beer Festival is no stranger to beer events a’plenty, just as Denver Off The Wagon writers (and readers) are no strangers to drinking beer a’plenty. Combine the two, along with a kick-ass Denver event called Ignite Denver, and you’ve got yourself a bomber (or 5) of a good time. As part of GABF [...]

While recovering from a late Saturday night complete with a show at Benders, a slice from Benny Blanco’s, and dancing and downing tall boys of Red Stripe at Beauty Bar (don’t ask), the boy and I found ourselves at City O’ City on a Sunday afternoon sipping on some of the city’s tastiest blood marys.

It isn’t often you get to sit in a restaurant and wonder whether the odor in the air is drying glue from a brand new bar or remnants of 40-year-old embalming fluid from the previous funeral parlor tenants. Recently opened in the historic Olinger Mortuary, and boasting Denver’s chef-of-the-moment, Justin Cucci (also of Root Down), [...]
