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!

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…
Randall the Enamel Animal
A few weeks ago I visited Austin and stopped into some of my favorite beer bars. As I sat at the bar at Easy Tiger, something interesting caught my eye. There was some sort of intriguing looking contraption with a Dogfish Head sticker that said, “Randall the Enamel Animal.” But what really caused me to…
Crafting a Nation: Post Production Kickstarter Campaign
“Crafting A Nation is a feature length documentary and new media project about how the American craft brewers are rebuilding the economy one beer at a time.” (from http://www.craftinganation.com) Crafting a Nation is now in post-production, and the wonderful folks who have worked so hard on it have a Kickstarter campaign with 23 days remaining to…
American Homebrewers Association: Trust me, you want a membership
In the spring I started thinking about this year’s Great American Beer Festival. I knew I wanted tickets to the Saturday afternoon members-only session, so I pulled up the American Homebrewers Association web page for some information. An individual membership costs $38 for one year; to me it was worth it to pay that amount just…
