This past Tuesday, June 20th was the Summer Solstice, aka the longest day of the year. We love that summer is finally in full-gear, but it’s also a bit sad that we’ve already passed the halfway mark. From here on out days will slowly get shorter until, before you know it, summer turns into autumn. Before you think we’re being all Debbie-Downer about summer ending, we’re not. We know there are plenty of warm, sunny […]
Last Saturday we attended the 4th Annual Collaboration Fest at the National Western Complex in Denver. As promised, this year’s Collaboration Fest was bigger and better than previous years. The expanded space allowed for more brewers, more beer, and more thirsty beer drinkers. It was just generally more fun! There was so many great beers to be enjoyed, that we couldn’t even get to them all. There were over 100 beers and despite our best efforts, we just couldn’t […]
We used to write about how the summer months in Colorado were Beer Festival Season. When the weather is sunny and warm, the number of beer festivals are staggering. Summer time in Colorado is filled with more beer festivals than any one person could attend – at least until they perfect cloning or time travel. It’s an embarrassment of riches. In the winter months the festivals are fewer and further between, but we think that just […]

This past weekend we attended the Rendezvous At The Rock beer festival in Castle Rock. It’s incredible that this is the first time we’ve attended this beer fest, given it’s held literally 15 minutes from our house. I can’t explain how we’ve missed out on so many Rendezvous, but I can assure you we won’t skip this event again. Held annually at Rockyard Brewing Company, Rendezvous At The Rock is just about the perfect community beer festival. […]

In the early morning hours of July 20, 2012, 12 people were killed, 70 more were injured, and countless others had their lives forever changed in the Aurora, Colorado theater tragedy. Alex Teves was one of the twelve victims who lost his life that night. We didn’t know Alex personally, but Copper Kettle Brewing Company did. Alex was their friend, their customer, and Copper Kettle Brew Club member #28. In honor of Alex and all the […]

There is nothing like beer in the summertime. Don’t get me wrong – we like beer all year round – but there is just something about enjoying a delicious, cold beer on a hot, sunny day. The only problem is that those beers can go down mighty easy when it’s hot out, and we don’t bounce back as quickly from a hangover as we did in the past. That’s why summer is the perfect season to enjoy some […]
Don’t you wish you could enjoy the some fantastic new beers while surrounded by the unfortunate fashion choices of the 1980’s? Do you long to relive the 80’s, while still enjoying the great craft beers of today? Or do you just wish you had time to visit all the newest Colorado craft breweries, but silly things like work and responsibilities have made you miss out on the latest grand openings? If you can relate to any of the […]
