Beer has an interesting history. It goes back well before history was a major in college. In goes back before history was something written down, in fact. Beer goes back a long ways.
At the same time (time being a term used to describe my explanation of history, not history itself), beer has highs and lows. [...]
According to the GABF countdown clock at Falling Rock, there’s about 22 days until the start of the Great American Beer Festival. Could be a little more or a little less. Counting is hard.
The festival is sold out, but there are always tickets for sale on Craigslist and other such sites. But whether you got [...]

Raise your hand if you like bacon.
Good.
Hangovers suck. But they happen. If you like good beer, like going to bars, like scotch, like… ya, there’s a lot of [...]
Much like Paul Revere riding the streets of Middlesex County alerting the townsfolk of the impending march of the Red Coats, I write for you today in hopes that you’ll heed my warning and prepare accordingly.
The beer geeks are coming! The beer geeks are coming!
According to the countdown timer staring me in the face at [...]
Last weekend was the 4th Annual Denver Summer Brew Fest at Mile High Station. I went. Surprise!

This series is wrapping up. We’ve talked about how alcohol gets in your body, what it does there, and how it gets out. Sadly, alcohol doesn’t always pick up after itself. It leaves a mess and moves on to the next party, [...]
When is festival season anyway? I’ve gone to beer festivals in almost every month of the year. Summer is generally filled with some great ones, but I’ve also done back to back fests in the winter. And then there’s the fresh hop / wet hop season in the fall. Avery alone has enough festivals in [...]
In the past, we’ve talked about how alcohol gets in your system, how your body breaks it down, and what a few drinks will do to different parts of your brain. Now, let’s talk about tolerance.

In February, I moved from Old South Pearl to Capitol Hill (in Denver). Even though it’s only a few miles north, everything is a little different. Much more “urban”, or as urban as Denver gets.
