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….
Lowry Beer Garden: 16 craft beers on tap + the biggest pretzel you’ve ever seen
Lowry Beer Garden (7577 E. Academy Boulevard, Denver) officially opens tomorrow, May 23rd, but last night I had the pleasure of attending a “special preview opening,” and it was a great time. Upon first hearing about this place, my initial thought was, “Where the hell is Lowry?” Living downtown, I tend to frequent establishments that…
Did You Get Wood on Friday Night?!
Friday night at Star Bar was their Wood & Barrel Aged Beer Party, yet another great event for American Craft Beer Week. What am amazing lineup of beers: Great Divide 18th Anniversary Ale Great Divide Belgian Yeti – Aged in Leopold Brothers American Small Batch Whiskey Barrel Oskar Blues G’Knight – Aged in Leopold Brothers…
The Mysterious & Elusive Yeti
You’ve probably heard about the Yeti. It’s been called one of the greatest mysteries of our time. Many have tried for years to prove whether it’s real or not. Well, I’m here to tell you today: the Yeti is real, folks. I have seen it, smelled it, tasted it. Just two days ago, in fact,…
