As many a St. Patrick’s Day and other generally unimaginative drinking t-shirts claim: “You can’t drink all day unless you start in the morning.” However true this may be, since you’ve graduated from your wild college days and have henceforth been marching steadily into adulthood and real responsibilities, killing a keg before noon in the [...]

An event centered on beer, coffee, and unlimited bacon pretty much sells itself. I mean, what else do you need to know before snagging your credit card and making reservations in the next five seconds? Even if the event is being held at the bottom of the ocean, and all the profits fund the Prohibition [...]

A misty moor, whale-oil lanterns flickering in a dim room, curls of ethereal smoke flowing from a Sherlock Holmes-esque pipe: despite a sludged-up River Thames, rampant disease, and the fact that people just threw their bodily waste out the window, the Victorian Era still retains a great deal of romanticism. But where can the modern-day [...]

If you were lucky enough to join Crooked Stave’s Cellar Club this past year, stop reading this post and go renew your membership. Alright, now that we’ve got that out of the way. Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project began their Cellar Reserve Club in 2012. At that time, they didn’t even have a tap room. [...]

The Denver Beer Fest—a city-wide celebration of suds surrounding Great American Beer Festival—was officially begun last Friday with the initial tapping of Mayor Mike’s 5280 Brew at Denver Beer Co., the pumpkin beer Denver’s Mayor Michael B.

So, this is your first Great American Beer Festival (GABF)? Feeling excited? Giddy, even? Good, but are you truly prepared for 2, 200 beers and 500 breweries?

Pop quiz, Colorado beer geeks: name the man famous for both being Denver’s mayor and for brewing beer. If you answered John Hickenlooper then you are right! Correction: you’re half right because, as of Wednesday, September 19th, current Denver mayor Michael Hancock can also be counted among the exclusive ranks of mayoral beer-makers. To celebrate the fourth-annual Denver [...]

How do you like your coffee? Black? Cream? Sugar? Personally, I like my coffee how I like my women: loaded with beer. Apparently, Denver Beer Co. feels the same way: they’re hosting the Coffee Beer Fest in their taproom this Saturday, February 18, 9am – noon. With a $25 ticket, attendees will receive a breakfast burrito [...]

There are two big reasons why I love Denver. The drinking culture in this city is second to none: we host the best beer events and our incredible number of breweries are world-class. And perhaps it’s the collective mindset, or perhaps it’s the altitude that makes every mile-high step feel like ten sea-level steps, but [...]

We live in a culture of constant flux. Permanence is gone. New technologies become obsolete within days. Our professional athletes change teams like they change jock straps.
