The Colorado Rockies’ season came to a merciful end at the end of September, but the Sandlot brewery inside Coors Field plans to stay open to the public through the winter for the first time in more than a decade — something that will allow it to showcase its recent…

Denver has just come off the high of the sold-out Great American Beer Festival and a week’s worth of equally beer-geeky events, but that doesn’t mean the town has run out of brews. In fact, quite the opposite. There is still a ton going on. If you’re a brewery, though,…

Colorado returned to form at the 2013 Great American Beer Festival, taking home a whopping 46 medals — spread out across breweries of widely varying ages, sizes and locations. The medal count was also up significantly from 2012 — when the state won only 35 medals as part of a…

Left Hand Brewing altered the beer-drinking landscape two years ago when it announced during the Great American Beer Festival that it had come up with a way to inject nitrogen into its bottled Milk Stout so that it pours smooth and creamy, like a draft beer. Milk Stout Nitro quickly…

The city’s convention and visitor’s bureau has finally answered some beery prayers — agreeing after several years of negotiations to allow the Great American Beer Festival to significantly expand the amount of space it uses at the Colorado Convention Center. Beginning in 2015, GABF will add 90,000 to 100,000 additional…

The Great American Beer Festival, which starts tomorrow and runs through October 12, is dominating Colorado this week, as locals and out-of-town visitors fill up breweries, restaurants and bars all along the Front Range. But GABF doesn’t just fill up the Colorado Convention Center. The days around it are a…

Barley, hops, water and yeast. And wild sage and dandelion greens, yarrow and golden currants. Oh, and rabbit brush. These are some of the ingredients that were used by seventeen Colorado breweries as part of this year’s Beers Made by Walking. The festival, today at the Wynkoop Brewing Company, is…

UPDATE: Congratulations to Jordenroman, who won the contest by telling a tale of a beer so delicious it had to be taken into the shower. Thanks to everyone else for your stories of beer love. Cheers. Tickets to the Great American Beer Festival, which takes place October 10-12 at the…

If you’ve been to the Great American Beer Festival before, then you know the drill: Wait, with bated breath, in a line that wraps around the Colorado Convention Center, get inside, get your tasting glass, take a deep breath and hit the tasting tables — hundreds upon hundreds of them…

The organizers of the Great American Beer Festival — and craft beer fans — will face an unusual situation when the three-day event returns to Denver for its thirty-second year on October 10: Not all of the hot, hard-to-find brewers will be inside the convention center hall. There are several…

You know you’re doing something right when the mayor drinks your beer and gives you a high-five. So brewer Chad Yakobson must be doing okay. On Friday, Yakobson will open his new showpiece brewery, Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project, inside the Source, an indoor market in River North. Yesterday, he…

The calm Denver weather belies a beer storm that is brewing. The Great American Beer Festival, and the week of revelry that surrounds it, are on their way. Breweries, bars and restaurants all along the Front Range are getting ready, but preparations can’t be made on adrenaline alone. Here are…

Tim Myers and Chris Hill are in double trouble. They’ve both been brewing a Scotch ale (a strong, sweet, caramel-colored beer) called Caber Toss and selling it out of their respective breweries — Myers at Strange Brewing and Hill at Odyssey Beerwerks. Rather than turn this trouble into a legal…

As Denver’s recent craft beer revolution continues to ripple outward, the city’s southern suburbs are finding themselves at the forefront of the next wave of breweries. The latest city to land its own taproom is Littleton, where the owners of 38 State Brewing have just signed a lease for a…

Epic Brewing will open its soaring new taproom at noon Saturday, September 28, welcoming thirsty Colorado beer drinkers who’ve been curious to get a peek inside the $2 million facility that the Utah-based company has been working on for months. In addition to 25 taps of Epic beer and two…

Harry Smith, a longtime brewer at Breckenridge Brewery, opened his own place today, just a block from his old employer and with its full support. Black Sky Brewery, which dishes up Connecticut-style pizza along with more than ten taps of local beers, was a long time in the making, Smith…

Size is relative when it comes to most things, and breweries are no exception. Over the past couple of years, Breckenridge Brewery has made some commercials poking fun at the big boys of beer for their sales techniques, and now Yak & Yeti is doing the same to Breckenridge. Although…

Left Hand Brewing marked its twentieth anniversary last week (a trying week, considering the floods that nearly wreaked havoc on the brewery), and to celebrate, the Longmont company is temporarily bringing back five beers it no longer makes. “These are some old favorites,” says Joe Schiraldi, who is vice president…
