I was in Denver last week on business, and met up with my cousin who showed me around a few beer spots in downtown Denver. What an amazing place for beer lovers. Now I really wish I was able to go to GABF this year! I seriously thought about ditching the family and just headin back out this week too!
Anyways, have a great time everyone! If you see North River Brewery, tryout their 'Unified Theory' oaked imperial wit! Also keep your eyes peeled for a newer brewery called Hogshead. I didn't get a chance to visit them this trip, but heard lots of folks talking about them.
Prost!

Well, I didn't get to either of those places, but Denver is a great beer town. Just within walking distance of the convention center, you can hit a few breweries and lots of great tap houses. I did make it over the Crooked Stave which is an up and coming barrel house. Some great sours and funky beers in their humble place. Also ran into Justin, Tasty and John Palmer there.
Also visited Colorado Cider Company. It was the first cidery I had visited. Not too exciting, but it was interesting to learn how they get their juices flowing. Their 6-variety sampler was free, too. As Tim put it, going there was a no grainer.
