Bars & Breweries

“Are we going to give the independent liquor stores any hope at all, or should we just put a nail in their coffin right now?”

The planned brewery and bowling alley combo at Gold’s Marketplace in Wheat Ridge has been mired in disaster from the start.

It’s been just over a year since the brewery moved from Colfax to Uptown.

The brewery is among three Colorado beer-related winners on USA Today’s 10Best Awards lists.

There are a lot of pop-ups these days, but this floral stunner at the Ramble Hotel is a full-sensory experience.

It became America’s first single-pot whiskey distillery when it opened in Arvada in 2018. This weekend, it’s hosting an anniversary party.

We’ve also got the details on several events this weekend including a game show night and a crawfish boil.

One day after a bartender was injured in a scooter accident, a fire broke out on the block, but it’s still pouring.

The event returns on March 30 and once again has a creative lineup, including a stout made with smoked brisket.

Other highlights include the closure of the original Barrels and Bottles in Golden and a fantasy-themed beer fest this weekend in RiNo.

It’s the latest addition to the Regular, a fine dining restaurant that debuted on Market Street last year.

We’ve also got the latest on a new Elevation Beer bar in Salida, a Westbound & Down pop-up in Aspen and our beer of the week, a breakfast sour.

“The quality of spirits coming out of the state is only getting better and better.”

There are also some fun brewery events this week, including the Beer, Bacon and Coffee Fest.

We also have the details on upcoming events including SUDS for SIDS, a First Draft beer dinner and the Sexy Motor Oil release in Breckenridge.

The RiNo Grog Shop debuted in January and offers everything from pasta, tinned fish and local blue corn vodka to Doritos and PBR.

If you miss Armida’s, take note.

Even with Vine Street still closed, February is all about dark beers.

Plus, get the details about a trio of upcoming beer events and check out our beer of the week, a dark ale from Lady Justice that’s ideal for cold days.
