Anniversaries:
This Saturday, September 28 marks the 1 year anniversary of one of Boulder’s best kept secrets in beer, and that can mean only one thing. Wild Wood’s Brewery is turning 1 and they are celebrating with 12 beers including some new releases and the returns of some fan favorites. They will be bringing back the popular 2012 Barley wine as well as the Tropical Paradise IPA a great IPA with mango and ginger. As far as new beers are concerned they will be releasing an Oktoberfest style lager, as well as a special anniversary ale known as Big Bonfire. This is an imperial version of their flagship Campfire Red and the first 40 people to order one will get to keep they glass for free.
