One part opportunity, one part spontaneity, whip vigorously
Lazy Sundays are my favorite and lately they are focused around drinking as well as lazy. Yesterday I tried something new; Shiner Prickly Pear. I’ve been a fan of Shiner Ruby Redbird for a while so Shiner wasn’t the new part. The Ruby Redbird is a perfect summer beer and also pairs well with sushi and Thai! I…
Last night I got a sneak peak at Bill Eye and Ashley Carter’s new project, Bierstadt Lagerhaus. The space located at 2875 Blake Street was previously a teacher resource store. Inside there will be a brewery, distillery, and cidery. The restaurant and tasting area will be up on a mezzanine looking out at an amazing view…
Last Wednesday I had the privilege of getting a tour of Prost Brewing by brewer Ashleigh Carter. My sister was my guest and John Carlson of the Denver Beer Guild also joined us. Prost is one of my favorite breweries in Denver (still a lot to try) and it was super fun to learn about…
(Frances and Edward Mayes) Last night I had the privilege to sip on some Tuscan Sun Wines with wine creator and best selling author Frances Mayes; best known for her book Under the Tuscan Sun. The event was a media event held at the Denver Art Museum last night and I was invited on behalf…
The past two days have been pretty exciting for me. As a contributor for Denver Eater I got to do a few exciting projects, lets start with Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project. I met with owner and brewer, Chad Yakobson, for a quick interview and snapped a few pics of their barrels and oak foeders!…
I had the privilege to be invited to the Sip, Savor and Brew event at Cascade Vail Resort this past weekend on behalf of Denver Eater (I’m happy to announce I am a contributor). Ever since I tasted my first beer in Colorado at a local brewery I have been getting lessons because it’s what…
Beyond wines are the star of this weeks wine Wednesday for three great reasons. The label is amazing it is bright and catchy which is of course my first reason. Second the concept of naming the wines Beyond wine is pretty awesome. It comes from a vineyard in South Africa called Buitenverwachting, which translates to…
While texting my sister last night as I packed for my trip, I felt my bag was a little too empty so I asked her what I could possibly be forgetting. She pointed out that as long as I have a dress and shoes for her engagement party this Saturday then I was good to…
This wine Wednesday is about drinking with friends. All of my best friends, well most of them, and family live in a different state than I do. Ranging from Colorado to Texas or Ohio to California. Skype has been a great tool for us to us to stay in touch. One of our favorite things…
I found a cool recipe for adding mixers to beer so I thought I would try it out. This one calls for an IPA, campari and fresh orange juice. I chose a Westbrook IPA because it is a local South Carolina brewery and it brews great beers. I had never had campari before this and…
