When in Rome, err, Denver

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 [...]

The beer geeks are coming!

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 [...]

Denver Summer Brew Fest

Last weekend was the 4th Annual Denver Summer Brew Fest at Mile High Station. I went. Surprise!
The event, thrown by RightOn Productions, and it’s colder sister event aptly named the Denver Winter Brew Fest, happen right near Invesco Field (where the Broncos play), pretty much right under the highway. This fest is different than most.
Some [...]

Festival Season

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 [...]

Bottle Shops: Joy Wine & Spirits

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. More people, more cars, more bars. Different grocery stores, different farmers’ markets, and, the point behind this article, different liquor [...]

Where I drink

I drink a lot of beer. Let’s just get that straight. Between homebrewing, living in Denver, and being a social kind of guy, I drink a lot of beer.
Depending on the day, the weather, and the company, I like to enjoy my brews in different locales.
In my ripe old age of 26, I’m finding that [...]

Pints Pub

“Hey, I need to write a blog post. Let’s go get beers.”
So starts my weekly need to visit a beer-related establishment.
This week we visited Pints Pub. It was a Wednesday night, and relatively quiet. Pints is a great pub, with about a dozen beers brewed in house, and a whiskey selection to make your head [...]

Cheeky Monk

Last night a few friends and I visited The Cheeky Monk, a Belgian beer cafe on Colfax. This wasn’t the first visit for me, and it won’t be the last. The Cheeky Monk boasts an impressive selection of Belgian beers on tap, and a just as impressive assortment in the bottle. They also have a [...]

I like beer. It makes me a jolly good fellow! (Rackhouse Pub Review)

Before reading this post, I highly advise you start playing this song. It was on the jukebox Wednesday night at Rackhouse Pub, and should be an excellent addition to your blog reading activity. If the link doesn’t work for you, search Tom T. Hall – I Like Beer.
Wednesday night, after work, I went to Rackhouse [...]

Stupid Questions — $0.93 (A visit to Falling Rock)

I’ve heard people talk about Falling Rock as if it’s the Soup Nazi restaurant of Seinfeld fame.

I hope to show an awesomer side. (I’m comfortable using awesomer, and so can you!)
Falling Rock Tap House is a known entity. It’s not a new spot, and it’s not in some back alley. If you’re a beer drinker, [...]
