• A Crush on Cans: Wynkoop vs. Breckenridge

  It's American Craft Beer Week - seven days that even the United States Congress felt should be set aside for drinking micro brews. 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 interest is the continued growth of canned micro brews, a trend that started in 2002 at Oskar Blues Brewery in Lyons and continues with at least seven other breweries that now can their beers and two that are

• When life gives you pine beetles, make picture frames

  Photo courtesy of Rich DziombaPicture frames made of beetle-killed pine trees in the BKTA showroom. The problem is a familiar one to Colorado residents by now: two million acres of dead trees, forested mountainsides turned entirely red. The high country has been turned into a giant tinderbox by a beetle the size of a grain of rice. The solution? Not to stop the pine beetle. There's no way to prevent the epidemic from killing off the entire population of lodge pole pines in Colorado within fiv

• Breckenridge Brewery: Yes they can

  Cans of Breckenridge Brewery's Avalanche Ale began rolling out of the plant this week and into liquor stores, just in time to catch the heart of the summer season. Breckenridge, which is borrowing its canning line from Ska Brewing Company in Durango, will also supply concert venues, golf courses and other places where glass bottles are not allowed or not convenient. The company is the latest to try canning its craft brews, following Upslope Brewery in Boulder, which started canning its beer la

• Breckenridge: One small step closer to legalizing pot

  Small amounts if this could soon be legal in Breckenridge.​In the battle to become Ski Country's most weed-friendly destination, the town of Breckenridge has moved one step closer to legalizing the possession of small amounts of marijuana. The town clerk has certified a petition circulated by Sensible Breckenridge, part of the larger advocacy group Sensible Colorado, verifying that at least 500 of the signatures were not signed "Cheech" or "Stoney McStonerton." The town council will now h

• Sean McAllister leads the campaign for sensible marijuana laws in Breckenridge

  Sean McAllister thinks the government has better things to spend money on than busting small-time weed users.​While the rest of the state bickers about medical marijuana, and what kind of limitations should or shouldn't be placed upon it (read Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper's take here), Breckenridge is considering decriminalizing ganja for those without health issues, too, via 2F, a measure earmarked for the Breck ballot this November.

• Sean McAllister on Breckenridge's decriminalization of weed, the Board of Health's medical-marijuana action

  The Breckenridge marijuana vote put a smile on Sean McAllister's face.​Sean McAllister experienced a big up and an equally large down yesterday. As the head of Sensible Breckenridge, a marijuana advocacy organization, he was thrilled when residents of the ski town voted overwhelmingly to decriminalize pot in their community. But in his role as board chairman for the statewide group Sensible Colorado, he was distressed by the Colorado Board of Health's move to strike its previous definition

• Breckenridge police chief thinks marijuana arrests may actually go up after vote to decriminalize pot

  Chief Rick Holman is talking to a lot of confused people these days. Even more than usual.​Yesterday, Sensible Breckenridge's Sean McAllister, speaking about the passage of ballot initiative 2F, a marijuana decriminalization measure in his hometown, bristled at a media claim that the action was mostly "symbolic," adding, "The police chief in Breckenridge has said he'll take it as direction about how the voters want to go." Later, he maintained that "all arrests and convictions in the town
