Tomorrow night Colorado's first craft brewery, Boulder Beer, celebrates its 30th birthday and you are invited. The Throw Down bash takes place at the historic Boulder Theater on 14th & Pearl. There will be live music by Great American Taxi featuring Vince Herman from Leftover Salmon, and Oakhurst. They will have crazy prize drawings (you can win BEER FOR A YEAR!), beer celebrations, and of course, pints of Boulder Beer for only $2.50. Tickets are still available and you gotta get them on the Boulder Theater website or at their ticket office. http://www.bouldertheater.com/****ON TAP****
Ft. Collins Brewery releases their Oatmean Raisin Stout today. It is a benevolient brew. According to the label, "this style of stout, developed in honor of brewer & Colorado State University Alumnus Matt Wensman and all proceeds from sales are being donated to the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition, CSU, to be used in teaching the FTEC 460 Brewing Science and Technology course.” It's on tap at the brewery in Ft. Collins. They will also bottle it and sell it by the 6 pack. http://www.fortcollinsbrewery.com/

Love the opening about how a lot of once micro-brews are not at minimum medium sized brews.
ReplyDeleteAll micro-brews embrace their moniker but it's rare to find one that's comfortable staying in that niche.
You.ve got that right,John. We have some amazingly good brews from some great little brewspots that seem to be cool with staying small but once a brewery starts canning and bottling up their beer, the growth hormones seem to kick in, too.
