PorchDrinking’s Weekly Denver Beer Beat | Nov 25, 2015

Well, hump day is like a Friday for a lot of us folks in Denver this week. Time to saddle up in the Subaru to go visit your families. Others head to the high country to shred that hyper fierce gnar-gnar. I, personally, will probably just shred through some cellar beers and smoke some cigars. For those of you who stick around town, we have a Thanksgiving-basket-load of events to tide you over and make you very thankful to live in the Mile High City. Also, don’t forget to check our post on where to find BCBS before you going spending any of your hard earned money on stupid TVs and dehydrators.

So, check out our Calendar and plan accordingly, Denver!

PorchDrinking’s Weekly Denver Beer Beat | Oct 28, 2015

The Denver/Boulder area is getting a lot of attention from the GOP and it’s a lot like the “bread and circuses” era of the Roman Empire. I won’t tread into politics other than to say that I wish that the presidential candidates had to dress up for the week of Halloween. That would make things MUCH, MUCH more interesting. Amirite?!
