Since it’s Colorado Craft Beer Week, I would like to give a quick shout out to a couple of my favorite Colorado beers. Well, my favorites that are bottled/canned and distributed anyway. I have lots of others that can only be purchased in a tap room, so I’m mentioning the ones I can pick up…

Craft Beer Pairs Well With Italian Fare at Gaetano’s
When I want to go out for a nice Italian meal, my thoughts often turn to wine. Wine is the natural companion to Italian cuisine, and I enjoy an occasional glass of it with a good pasta dish. But, as a beer lover, I would like the option of having a few craft beers from…
Good Pours, Post 1: Our Mutual Friend
I find it quite interesting that I normally post great reviews about my experiences at many local breweries, bars, and restaurants that have a good tap list, and none of these get acknowledged. However, on the extremely rare occasions I post something negative, everyone is all over me about it. This is a blog. It’s…
32 Beers on the Wall at Wazee Supper Club
Pizza and beer. Pretty much two of my favorite things, especially together. I’ve been a fan of Wazee Supper Club‘s pizza for years. And thanks to their 2012 remodel, they now have an impressive 32 beers on tap. I stopped in after work recently with a couple friends to check out their selection. We went…
Burgers+Beer=Bliss at TAG Burger Bar
When I dine out, I specifically choose establishments where I know I can get something good to drink with my meal. Sometimes I’m craving a certain food at a place that serves only one beer I like; but as long as I can get that one beer, I’m there. When I want Mexican food, I…
Equinox Brewing: Great Beer, Excellent Art. What’s Not To Love?
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…
