Though it’s not yet open, I already love Former Future Brewing Company. Great beer, great people, exciting new Denver brewery! But, as we all know…these things need funding. Former Future has obviously put a LOT of thought into its rewards, offering many unique experiences (in addition of course to standards such t-shirts, hats, etc.). Some examples…

Vail Cascade’s Brewmaster’s Weekend with Breckenridge Brewery
On Saturday evening I had the pleasure of attending my first Brewmaster’s Weekend at Vail Cascade Resort. I typically do most of my craft beer tastings along the Front Range, as it is nearest to me geographically. So once I found out about the Brewmaster’s Weekends in Vail, I couldn’t wait to get into the…
Big Beers, Belgians, & Barleywines Festival!
Now that summer is winding down, the minds of beer drinkers often turn to thoughts of fall beers…pumpkin ales, stouts, barleywines, and other great brews that are perfect for warming you up on a cool day. Though the 14th annual Big Beers, Belgians, and Barleywines Festival in Vail isn’t until January 9-11, 2014, tickets go on…
Brewed in Brooklyn
I recently learned a lot about the Brooklyn brewing scene–from the early 1800’s up to current day–thanks to the dvd Brewed in Brooklyn. I must admit I had little knowledge of Brooklyn breweries and just what a thriving scene it once was. This dvd gave me the history lesson I needed as someone who is…

The cans are expected to be released in late October and will run until early March, the perfect warm-up for those…
Redstone Meadery Now Canning!
As a beer lover and wine drinker, sometimes what really hits the spot is a nice glass of mead. It is with great enthusiasm that I pass along the wonderful news that Boulder’s Redstone Meadery has announced the availability of its mead in cans. Three flavors–Black Raspberry Nectar, the apricot-flavored Sunshine Nectar, and Nectar of the Hops–will be available…
Fall Beers: Pumpkick by New Belgium
I love fall seasonals. Especially pumpkin beers. I’m really looking forward to trying New Belgium‘s Pumpkick Ale. Pumpkick Combines Traditional Spices with Cranberries and Lemongrass–sounds delicious, right? “Tis the season for baked goods, so why fight it, just pair it,” said New Belgium’s Master Blender and Sensory Specialist, Lauren Salazar. “The cranberries absolutely make a…
It’s Always a Beautiful Day at Crystal Springs Brewing
A couple of days ago I was in my car on my way to Crystal Springs Brewing Company in Boulder. As I made my way down (or is it up?) Sunshine Canyon Road, I was caught up in how absolutely beautiful that area is. Often when I’m going to a brewery, I find myself in an industrial…
