I was born–and celebrate my birthday each year–on the Autumnal Equinox (though it sometimes falls the day before). So “equinox” has always had somewhat of a special meaning to me. When I first heard about Equinox Brewing, I knew I had to check it out. Before I knew of them, I saw someone wearing a…

Caution Brewing Co.’s Awesome Growlers
I really like Caution Brewing Co. In fact, one of their beers– Big Bunny Cascadian Dark Ale–made my “Favorite Colorado Beers of 2012” list. And not only do they brew great beer, they have started releasing a very cool line of growlers, each featuring art work from their beers. The first one–out now–is the Lao Wang Growler,…
Colorado Craft Beer and Vegetarian Fare at…Fado?
It’s not often I blog about an establishment that isn’t a brewery, or at least a beer bar with a huge selection of craft beer. And it’s not usual at all that I share my experience at a “chain.” But I recently visited Fado Denver for the first time in years, and it was quite…
Sweetest Valentine’s Day Ever With Black Shirt Brewing and Great Divide
I’m not really a Valentine’s Day kind of person. I never make big plans, and I’m not the type that expects (or demands, as some do) candy, flowers, or jewelry. All I desire is good company, great beer, and take-out for dinner. I had the good company and take-out all lined up, and then I…
No Bad Choices at Big Choice
At a recent festival I tried two beers from Big Choice Brewing. They had their Disconnected Red Ale and #42 Poblano Stout on tap. I was very impressed with both of these, and I decided I needed to get to Broomfield to check them out and sample some of their other brews. So on a…
Fate Brewing Co.: Delicious Beers, Delectable Dishes
Obviously, I love beer. But I also love food. A lot. Therefore, one of my favorite things to do is drink a great beer while having a tasty meal. Many places I enjoy drinking do not offer food; there are lots of excellent tap rooms that sometimes have food trucks outside, but not always. So…
Avery Brewing: Tap Room Exclusives are the BEST!
I’ve been drinking Avery beers for many years, and I thought I was familiar with mostly all of their brews. However, I visited their tap room twice within the past month, and I was pleasantly surprised at all the extra “Tap Room Exclusives” they had available. The ones that stood out the most to me…
Campfires, Treelines, & Smores: This is my idea of nature
I used to enjoy a moderate hike: escaping into the beautiful mountains for a while, breathing in the dry pine-filled air, knowing I was getting some exercise. However, once I moved to the city–downtown to be specific–I no longer have the desire to do such activities. I don’t want to sit in the car for…
Colorado Brews: Pilot Date Announced!
I am thrilled and honored to be a part of an exciting project called Colorado Brews. We filmed the pilot episode last summer, and its air date has just been announced. Colorado Brews will air on Rocky Mountain PBS on April 6, 2013 at 9:30 p.m. This episode features Crabtree Brewery in Greeley, CO. Please “like”…
