February is yet another fantastic month for beer in Denver. Not only is it Stout Month, it’s also Barleywine Month, a.k.a. Dain Bramage month, at Falling Rock Tap House. Falling Rock is undoubtedly one of the best tap houses around. With over 75 taps and the motto “No Crap on Tap,” you can never go…

Women, beer, and…pubic wigs?!
The last thing I thought I’d be shouting in front of a group of dozens of women at a beer event on a Wednesday night is, “A pubic wig!” But often the most spontaneous things end up being the most memorable. Last week I had the pleasure of experiencing my first Crafty Ladies Beer Club meeting at…
Who’s ready for Stout Month?! Meeeeeeeeeee!
I imagine the folks at Vine Street get sick of seeing my face during the month of February. But with all the excellent rotating stouts, I simply can’t take the chance of missing one. Solution: stop there every day. And this year we get an extra day, thanks to Leap Year! Woo hoo!
Denver Beer Company to consider Happy Hour?!
I have been a fan of Denver Beer Company since it opened. They have brewed several excellent beers I’ve gone out of my way to try and go back for, and they have a great space in a nice location. So wouldn’t it be great if the one brewery in Denver that doesn’t offer Happy…
Whole Hop Infusion at Bull & Bush
I read an article yesterday (by Beer Man, Westword Blogs) about Tableside Whole Hop Infusions at Bull & Bush. That was around 2 p.m. By 4:15 I was at Bull & Bush to see what it was all about. As a self-proclaimed hops freak, I simply couldn’t wait to get there and check it out….
Copper Kettle Brewing
I have no idea why it took me so long to find out about Copper Kettle Brewing, which opened in April 2011 (at 1338 S. Valentina St., Unit 100, Denver). I’m pretty sure I heard of them months ago, and most likely what happened is that I mapped it and when it appeared to be just out of Denver…
Gearing up for Stout Month 2012
Ever since I moved to Colorado 13 years ago, I have looked forward to the month of February. As a person who doesn’t participate in winter sports, February isn’t something to get excited about. It’s cold. And while I’ll probably see a handful of nice days, I know I have to wait about 3 months…
Favorite Colorado beers of 2011
2011 was an exciting year for beer in Denver! We were fortunate enough to see the opening of two new–EXCELLENT–breweries: Denver Beer Company and Renegade Brewing. These are now two of my favorite places to drink in this great city. Both serve up some delicious brews. Or, to use Renegade’s own motto: “Offensively Delicious.” 🙂 Reflecting…
Great Divide Beer and Chocolate Pairing at Star Bar
I’ve attended many Beer and Cheese Pairings at Great Divide over the last couple of years, and they’ve always been wonderful. So when I heard about a beer and chocolate pairing featuring Great Divide beers at Star Bar December 15th, I couldn’t wait to go. $20 per person–great deal! My favorite kinds of beer are…
