Beer and brunch: a couple of my favorite things. There is almost nothing more enjoyable to me than to sleep in on the weekend and then go out for a leisurely meal (preferably on a patio), with drinks of course. And I did just that on Sunday, at Humboldt. Humboldt has many great beverage options…

Exciting Craft Beer News at The Rio!
I have been a fan of the Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant since first moving to Colorado 15 years ago. I’ve always enjoyed their margaritas, food, patios, and atmosphere. And now, as a craft beer drinker, there is even more to love. All six of the Rio’s locations have (or soon will) at least one beer…
Hotel Boulderado Bars Get a Makeover
Hotel Boulderado is a beautiful historic hotel in Boulder, open since 1909. It is home to two bars/restaurants, The Corner Bar and The Catacombs, which both recently underwent major renovations. The Corner Bar is now a casual, Western-inspired saloon with a new cocktail and food menu. And what had been called The Catacombs is now License…

Some have been around for years, such as Great…
ViewHouse: Spicy Mamacita Beer Cocktail for Cinco de Mayo
I visited ViewHouse over the weekend to check out their new beer cocktail, just in time for Cinco de Mayo. While many choose to celebrate the holiday with margaritas or Mexican beer, ViewHouses’s Spicy Mamacita is a unique combination of Corona with ViewHouse infused ghost pepper and cucumber vodka, tabasco sauce and fresh jalapeño. I…
Local Flavor at BruFrou
On Saturday I attended the first annual BruFrou, a craft beer + culinary pairing event, at Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum in Denver. This event featured beer and food from 70 Colorado craft breweries and eateries, and it was unbelievably good. Being vegetarian, it’s often a struggle to find enough to eat…

Barley’s Angels at Epic Brewing
Over the past few years, women’s beer groups have become increasingly popular and widespread. I have heard of at least five in the Front Range area alone (and I imagine there are several more). And in January, the Colorado chapter of Barley’s Angels was established. Barley’s Angels has monthly events in both Denver and Boulder. This…
Collaboration Festival
Last Saturday I attended a beer festival in Denver. A beer festival? In Denver?! Yes–another festival. They happen so frequently these days that one might wonder how it’s possible to put together a beer event that is different, special. Well, the folks behind Collaboration Festival made it happen. Collaboration Fest took place on March 22nd…

There are beer dinners, special tappings, festivals, and more. So far I know I am definitely attending Collaboration Festival on Saturday, March 22nd…
