Tonight, Boulder's newest brewery, Upslope Brewing Company, will hold a grand opening for its tap room, at 1501 Lee Hill Road in Boulder. Upslope, which cans its beers, will have $2 pint specials, $2 brats and live music from 4 to 8 p.m. The tap room's regular hours will be 4 to 8 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday.
Also tonight, Denver's Great Divide Brewing Company will release two new seasonal beers at its Tap Room, 2201 Arapahoe Street: Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout and Double Wit. Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti puts an unusual spin on the brewery's stout by toning down the hops to allow the chocolate flavors to come out. Add to that some vanilla from the oak barrels and a dash of cayenne, and you're sure to have an interesting evening. Read about the Double Wit here.
On Saturday, Odell Brewing Company will toast its summer seasonal, St. Lupulin Extra Pale Ale, with $3 pints all day and a party at its tasting room, 800 East Lincoln Avenue in Fort Collins. Live music from the Big South String Band will start at 1 p.m., followed by a toast at 3 p.m. and then more music from Dinero, from 4 to 6 p.m.
And on Thursday, June 4, Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery, 1001 16th Street, will tap its Jazzberry Ale, a summer seasonal, during a celebration at 6 p.m.
