The first rule of Beer Fight Club is “definitely talk about Beer Fight Club” – at least if you want the brewery throwdown to return for another year. Larimer Beer Hall put eight breweries – Beryl’s Beer Co, Black Shirt Brewing, Mockery Brewing, River North Brewery, Blue Moon, Epic Brewing, Jagged Mountain and Zephyr Brewing – on the fight card on Saturday, February 4, for a no-hops-barred brawl to the last sip. River North came out the champ, with a bold beverage called Hooray for Hops, which will soon hit liquor-store shelves in cans. For more photos, see our complete Beer Fight Club slideshow. Big flavors came in small sample glasses at Beer Fight Club. Danielle Lirette Was this the winning beer? Danielle Lirette A good beer fest isn’t complete without bar food. Danielle Lirette


Will you step up to support Westword this year?
At Westword, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $20,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $50,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of Westword, now’s the time to give back.
