Colorado Springs isn’t a place I go to often. Until recently, I think the last time I was there was around 6 or 7 years ago. But I heard so many great things about Trinity Brewing, I decided to make a trip down there. I had the day off so I figured I’d be a…

Mile High Spirits: No beer, but you should go here!
I believe this is my very first non-beer related post since I began my blog. Obviously, I love beer. It’s my drink of choice. But that doesn’t mean I don’t also enjoy other types of inebriants from time to time. And I’ve recently taken a liking to one place in particular: Mile High Spirits. Mile High…
A smoky night with Alaksan Brewing
Highland Tap & Burger’s Crafty Ladies Beer Club has done it again. The July event was yet another interesting, informative, and delicious affair. This time, the beer came all the way down from Juneau, Alaska, along with one of the brewery’s employees. And it was a vertical tasting of their smoked porter, from 2011, 2008,…
The Crafty Ladies go to Great Divide
The Crafty Ladies Beer Club is great fun. Monthly gatherings are normally held at Highland Tap & Burger; but this time, instead of having the brewers go to us, we went to them. And by “them” I mean one of my very favorite Colorado breweries: Great Divide. I was quite excited when I learned we…
Celebrating 15 years of “No Crap On Tap!”
I LOVE Falling Rock Tap House in LoDo. With around 75 beers on tap, Falling Rock is one of the absolute best beer bars in Colorado. They have now been here for 15 years, and last week they celebrated in a big way: 10 days of events & special beers. I chose to go last…
Great Divide is officially legal!
Great Divide, one of my favorite local breweries, is officially an adult. They just turned 18, and they had a huge birthday bash to celebrate. (If anyone saw the Westword slide show of photos, no I did not steal this picture; I was just lucky enough to be behind their photographer with my pitiful little…
Colorado Country Club Classic 2012
On Friday evening I attended the 2012 Colorado Country Club Classic at Casselman’s in Denver. This event was a fundraiser for the American Lung Association of Colorado, and this year’s theme was golf. I’m really not a fan of golf; I don’t participate in it and think our country spends far too much clean water…
State Beer Challenge: I’m out!
I started off the State Beer Challenge by failing on day one: an error on my part, as I forgot since I was still within the first 24 hours. But I did well for the next 10 days or so. However, I am officially OUT. There are two contributing factors here: I’m lazy and didn’t…
State Beer Challenge: Not good for the forgetful drinker
I went into the State Beer Challenge on June 1st with the best intentions to drink only Colorado beers for the whole month. However, unfortunately for me, I have a bad memory. So I blew it on day one…less than 24 hours after I started. It was an honest mistake, and I’ve been doing really well…
June: Take the State Beer Challenge!
Today is June 1, and I am going to be participating in a month-long challenge. The challenge? Drink beers only from my state. Fortunately for me, I live in Colorado, the “Napa Valley of beer.” Shouldn’t be too tough, as I’d estimate out of every 10 of my beers, 8-9 of them are from Colorado….
