TRVE Brewing (Denver) – TRVE Brewing has announced that they will be tapping their new brew “DeciBREW”, a Weizenbock, this Friday at 7:06pm. This beer is the official beer of Decibel Magazine and is being billed as being “pure evil”, but in a good way. It is a hefty, malty 7% ABV beast of a beer that’s perfect for the dark, cold months of winter. Nunns described the Decibrew, his TRVE take on the style, this way: “It’s dark amber color with a really nice round body. There are dominant malt and clove aromas, but if you look hard you can pull out the banana aromas too.”
Great Divide Brewing (Denver) – Did you know that Great Divide donates 100% of the proceeds from the beer samples poured in their Tap Room to local nonprofits? In fact, during 2013, they gave a whopping $71,035 to 24 awesome local organizations. Very impressive – that means their fans drank over 71,000 beer samples last year! Visit us in January to help support the East Angel Friends & Alumni Foundation.
