Some of our readers get pissed when we showcase special releases in certain towns that they’re not going to be in…
But with so many of our readers already in Denver this week for the Great American Beer Festival, it’s just an unbelievable opportunity for beer lovers to sample beers that wouldn’t normally be available where they live… SERIOUS breweries like Crooked Stave.
Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project will be showcasing a whole series of rarities and special releases in their taproom this week. It’s located at 3350 Brighton Blvd, and we STRONGLY suggest that you plan to drop (at least once) while you’re in town.
Here’s a couple of things that you absolutely don’t want to miss.
