The malty Irish red-style beer was made by Wynkoop head brewer Andy Brown in collaboration with Denver Poet Laureate and homebrewer Chris Ransick, and inspired by Ransick's recent trip to Galway, Ireland.
For $5, Wynkoop customers can get a glass of Liquid Poetry in a commemorative glass that features Ransick's new beer poem, "Red Blessing."
But the beer is just the warm-up for the Wynkoop's second annual Liquid Poetry event this Saturday, April 18, at 7 p.m. There you'll find "beer-minded poetry" written and read by Ransick and other locals, including Lighthouse Writers co-founder Mike Henry, J. Diego Frey, Aaron Anstett and Catherine O'Neill Thorne.
One dollar from each purchase goes to the Colorado Anthology Project, a collection of Colorado literature covering everything from Native American narrative to contemporary work. Look here for more info on Colorado poetry and April Poetry Month.
