October 21, 2008Beer and Cheer: Double Bastard
Double Bastard Stone Brewing Company Escondido, California Double Bastard, made by one of my two favorite breweries in the country, packs a punch -- and feels no guilt about the violence. This beer, highly alcoholic (more than 10 percent), highly sought after, rich in flavor and texture, is one of the biggest, most complex brews you'll find anywhere. A thick, sweet, malt forearm is balanced by a hop wallop. For those who can handle it, it tastes great. For those who can't, well, as the bottle
December 4, 2008Beer and Cheer: 2 Below Ale
2 Below New Belgium Brewery Fort Collins Argh, no matter how hard I try, I just can't get into the beers from New Belgium Brewery. Fat Tire, Mothership Wit, 1554, 2 Below Ale: I've tried them -- repeatedly -- in an effort to figure out what I'm missing, and what everyone else is buying. After all, New Belgium is Colorado's largest craft brewer and its second-largest homegrown beer maker (behind Coors, of course). But no matter what I try, I just don't buy New Belgium's popularity. The beers don
December 11, 2008Microbrewing history gets its own photo book
Way back - way, way back -- before there was a microbrewery in every city, before the terms IPA and ESB entered the common lingo, before big, bold craft beers muscled their way onto liquor store shelves (before color photography, even), the pioneers of the microbrewery industry got their shaggy-looking selves together in Boulder for a home-brewing conference. The year was 1981, and the conference had been organized by Charlie Papazian, one of the patriarchs of craft brewing and the founder of i

The Wynkoop Brewing Co. was the first modern-era brewpub to open its doors in Denver, and this summer, it plans to become the first city brewery to sell its beer in cans. "We're pushing for June," says new Wynkoop head brewer Andy Brown, who got the project off the ground by persuading the owners of the Wynkoop's holding company that they needed to diversify. "The way I talked them into it was because I used to work for Oskar Blues, and I took them up there and showed them how much success they

(To find out about tappings, food pairings and other events, click here or here.) But Colorado's beer culture is worth a deeper look since 100 craft breweries operated here in 2008, producing 75,000 barrels of delicious beer. Of particular note is the continued growth of canned micro brews, a trend that started in 2002 at Oscar Blu

May 20, 2009Jax puts its fin into the wine game
Jax Fish House, which is part of the Big Red F Restaurant Group, has introduced its own wine -- with the help of vintner Sineann, a small winemaker in Yamhill County, Oregon, run by Peter Rosback. That's after Big Red F head honcho Dave Query traveled up and down the West Coast looking something good enough to put Jax's name on. "Sineann produces some of the best pinot noir in the U.S.," explains Jax Denver GM Adam Reed. "Peter'swines are gems from the northwest and they display the Burgundian v
May 21, 2009The Beer Buckle gets Twisted
The Beer Clothing Company, the Central City firm that graced the world with its (patent-pending) Beer Buckle, has landed a contract with Boston Beer (the maker of Sam Adams) to manufacture Beer Buckles branded with the Twisted Tea logo. The Beer Buckle is a genius creation: a belt buckle that folds down to reveal a retractable, spring-loaded brass ring that can safely cradle a bottle or a can. The company was founded in the fall of 1998 by Jay Kriner, a former Texan who now calls Colorado home,
June 9, 2009Free beer still flowing for Coors employees
A Flickr photo.I know you've been worried. Or worried-ish. But rest assured that, unlike their peers up at Molson Coors in Canada, the approximately 2,800 employees at MillerCoors in Golden will continue to get their 864 free beers a year ... for now. Last week, I read that Molson Coors -- the parent company of MillerCoors, whose biggest brewery is in Golden -- plans to cut back on the amount of free beer it gives employees and retirees. According to the Toronto Star, Molson retirees currently

Blue Moon: Not the best beer for solving a national crisis.If the pundits are to be believed, the entirety of our country's centuries-old racial upheaval will be solved today with the cracking open of a couple cold ones. After President Barack Obama ignited a fiery national debate on race relations last week by weighing in on the controversial arrest of distinguished Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. in his own home by police Sergeant James Crowley, the big man decided to make thin

The price is $59 per person, excluding tax and gratuity, and reservations can be made by
August 13, 2009Craft breweries are on a roll
With the Great American Beer Festival (September 24-26) and the first ever Denver Beer Fest (September 18-27) both around the corner, the craft beer industry's major trade group has released some mid-year statistics on what's been brewing nationwide. The Brewers Association reports that craft brewers sold 4.2 million barrels of brewski during the first six months of 2009, up from 4 million barrels during the same time period last year. Sales numbers grew by 9 percent over the first half
