February is almost over and it's been a tumultuous start to the year. But no worries - Rumor Mill is on the case, making sure that you are always plugged in to all the craft beer news that matters. Plus we've an all-important update on what we've been drinking lately and you absolutely don't want to miss that.

So many beers, So little time... We've three new releases from three distinct Ft. Collins-based breweries and they couldn't be more different. We'll have all of that for you, plus we've some interesting new releases from Victory and Two Bothers Brewing that you'll want to get your sweaty little hands on.

We blame the industry for this... It used to be that when we wrapped up our Weekend Picks on Friday, we could coast through the weekend. There was little need to check in for updates - things were pretty much done. But clearly all that's changed.

So here's some of what's happened in the world of craft beer while you were off enjoying yourselves.

Hey it's Friday - Work's been brutal and you're ready to shut down and some fun. Well good, because we're all about it and we've got all kinds of ideas for you. From the nation's coolest beer festivals, movies, and music to cutting-edge TV - we've got your back big-time. Plus we've a special weekend beer pick for you too, because we know you'll be drinking!

So welcome to our awesome Weekend Picks...

Hey we get it.  You're busy and you can't hang with us 24/7. But still, we don't want you to be missing all the good stuff. So as part of our ongoing commitment to bringing you the best craft beer and lifestyle coverage on the face of the planet - and to keep you plugged into our ongoing recklessness - we do a weekly compilation of our recent good, bad and ugly.

So welcome to another Friday Wrap-Up

So many beers, So little time... Sometimes mistakes made during the brewing process can lead to something unexpected. We'll have more on that for you, plus we've some interesting new releases from Upslope and Modern Times Beer that you'll want to get your sweaty little hands on.

We view the craft beer biz as an entertainment industry - a wonderful mashup of brewing, performance and visual arts. And yes, it all starts with the beer, but it sure doesn't end there. A brewery's branding is increasingly important in today's crowded marketplace and its label art and imaging now matter more than ever.

And that's where Oceania Eagan comes in...

February was off to a tumultuous start and Rumor Mill is on the case, making sure that you are always plugged in to all the craft beer news that matters. Plus we've an all-important update on what we've been drinking lately and you absolutely don't want to miss that.

When we go out to sample a number of beers we usually go to one location, park our asses on a stool or stand in lines at a festival to taste as much as we can, all for a price. The variety comes to us. With Oregon's Zwickelmania, we the indulgent masses, get a once a year opportunity to tour over 110 local breweries in five hours, sample a multitude of beers, talk with the brewers themselves and do it all free of charge. Trekking to the freshness is worth it.

So many beers, So little time... After eight years of building two distinctive brands, Port Brewing and The Lost Abbey are introducing a third line of beers to their portfolio. We'll have more on that for you, plus we've some interesting new releases from Upslope and Modern Times Beer that you'll want to get your sweaty little hands on.
