Farmer Girl Community Bistro

Chef Tim Payne teased us with a food truck and a fast-casual counter inside Avanti Food & Beverage before landing a brick-and-mortar for his farm-fresh fare in Lyons earlier this year. Farmer Girl’s cozy dining room on the town’s Main Street is like a miniature display case for Payne’s colorful creations built from seasonal vegetables […]

Fritz Family Brewers

Warm season is Kölsch season. No, not the spiced and/or fruited ales that too often unnecessarily use the name, but the delicate, clean, crisp, slightly hoppy pale beers served in 200-milliliter (6.7-ounce) cylindrical glasses called stanges.

Oskar Blues Grill & Brew

The long, angled bar – fashioned from ruddy Colorado sandstone – makes the trip to Oskar Blues worthwhile.
