No one wants to think about the Great American Beer Festival being over before it starts; however, with a sigh, I say it must be done. But I don’t think of it as a bad thing, think of it as an “I’m hung over and need food in my belly” kinda thing. We’re partnering up [...]

Boulder SourFest. It’s a magical place wedged between October’s Great American Beer Festival and January’s Big Beers Festival. It’s a place where the Russian River table–pouring blessed beers–stands sans a line. It’s a mecca for beer aficionados to congregate and proclaim the beer gospel. And after selling out in a mere 3 minutes this year, entry tickets were even [...]
