How else can you describe the
2014 Colorado Craft Beer Week than unbelievable? We saw the first, but
hopefully not the last Collaboration Festival, breweries go head to head, and
more new beer releases that to try them all was a goal most of us fell short
on. As we head into the last day, the events are just as good as the beginning
of the week and it will only make us look forward to next year already. Here is
what is going on Saturday.
-Even though they have been open
for a little bit the Old Mine in Erie will officially be celebrating their
grand opening. From 11-11 they will have all their great ciders available for
guests to try as well as some great guest beers on tap. Some of the guest beers
include Bligh’s Barleywine, Nightmare on Brett Street plus more. As soon as a
keg is tapped another new one will hit the tap lines. A little off the beaten
path, but this is one place worth checking out.
-From 1-4 in Denver Epic Brewing
will be at it again, this time with Flights and Floats. In partnership with
Little Man Ice Cream guests will have the opportunity to participate in a beer
and ice cream pairing, or combine the two for a beer float. For non drinkers or
designated drivers Rocky Mountain Soda will be on hand as well for standard
floats.
-River North Brewery will be
releasing a new limited release bottle. Their standard J Marie Saison has spent
time in white wine barrels and is now ready for guests to take home. Quantities
are very limited so guests can only purchase 2, $15 each.
-Along the Western Slope the 2nd
Annual Western Colorado Craft Beer Celebration will be happening from 2-6. This
event features 10 of the Western Slope’s breweries, and for $10 guests are
allowed samples of all their beers. Event is located at Edgewater Brewery in
Grand Junction.
-Copper Kettle Brewing Company in
Denver will have a new beer hitting the tap lines, Naja Imperial Red. This
Imperial Red Ale comes in at 110 IBUs and will be hitting the tap lines for the
first time. This beer will be hitting the tap lines first, and will soon be a
part of their regular lineup and will soon be available in 22 ounce bombers
around the state.
-Up in Longmont from 12-6
Lefthand will once again be hosting Hops and Handrails. This event features not
only great craft beers, but also a 25 foot high ski ramp to entertain guests.
Tickets are $30 for both beer and rail jam, and $10 to just watch the rail
show.
-The Historian’s Ale House is
partnering with Renegade Brewing for a special run for charity. $30 gets you
brunch, a participation in the run, and a special beer from Renegade.
What a week it has been, raise
your glass to it and know there are many great events on the horizon for years
to come.
