Poe-tee-weet, Sharoooook, Barooong! So it goes, Wynkoop knocks another beer/food pairing dinner out of the park. This time featuring a pork-centric line up to feature the rarely-brewed Vonnegut Mile High Malt beer. April 11th was abuzz with this memorial event (Vonnegut died on April 11th, 2007, so it goes) which left me satisfied, but not [...]

Eating and drinking around Aspen will never be cheap, but [...]

It happened! We all lived to see 2013, Mayans be damned. And oh what a joyous year it shall be! I expect the cinematic marketplace to overflow with the grace and creativity that we’ve come to expect of great minds that brought us masterpieces such as Battleship, Total Recall and Twilight. To be fair, we [...]

It’s a quiet weekend as far as planned events go. A calm before the storm that is New Year’s Eve. It might be the right weekend to go visit every single brewery in Denver. All of them. With a stop at every single distillery and winery as well. Actually, I’m going to go do that [...]

Photos by John Mogos Sundays are best served up with a side of bacon, beer and football. The first annual Denver Bacon & Beer Festival at Mile High Station on Sunday brought 900 pounds of bacon, 25 chefs, 20 breweries and 800 people together for the ultimate Sunday Funday. The best compliment to bacon is [...]

November 5th may be famous to the Brits for the gunpowder plot and treasonous figures against a tyrranous government. And that’s all find and dandy. Here in America, however, we celebrate the recognition of another tyrannous force being knocked down: December 5th has been officially dubbed “Repeal Day“- the day in 1933 when Prohibition was [...]

To celebrate an accomplished year, Wynkoop will be bringing out all the saints in dusting off all the cobwebs of every beer tapped in 2012 this Saturday, [...]

Head over to Vine Street Pub this Saturday for a block party and the 2nd Annual Brewers’ Olympics. Brewers’ Olympics, what’s that? Imagine a middle school field day, with balloon tosses and three legged races, but the middle schoolers are actually burly bearded brewers and shit-kicking pink boot wearing breweresses (I just made up that [...]
