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…

Winter Brew Fest 2013: The best beers to drink while seriously annoyed
I’ve been attending the annual Winter Brew Fest and Summer Brew Fest in Denver for several years. The first couple of years I went (2009 & 2010) were great. The venue, Mile High Station, worked well for the event and had plenty of space for attendees to enjoy their beers; it was fairly crowded but…
The Time I Home Brewed: Lesson–Leave the Flakes Out of It
I often get asked if I’ve ever brewed before. I live in a loft with an open floor plan, so I don’t really have the space to brew at home. However, I did attempt to home brew–once. In December 2011, while visiting a friend in Texas, I had the pleasure of helping an experienced home brewer…

My Favorite Colorado Beers of 2012
I drank more great beers in the past year than I can even begin to remember. So, looking back on 2012, I’ve decided to make a list of my favorite Colorado beers I had throughout the year. Some are not new, but have been around for a while, whereas others were just released in 2012. But here…
Happy Anniversary, Colorado Beer Girl!
A personal note regarding the one year anniversary of my blog I just realized I started this blog exactly one year ago this month, my first post being January 5th, 2012. It is something I do for fun; I enjoy writing, and I started my blog as an outlet, as I always seem to find…
Pizza & Pints: Phenomenal IPAs at Pinthouse
Two of my favorite things in life: beer and pizza. And, more specifically, IPAs and pizza (as for pizza, I enjoy many different kinds). So I could not resist a trip to Pinthouse Pizza on my recent visit to Austin. My brother, an Austin resident, had also heard of Pinthouse but had never been, so…
