Here is a link to a pretty comprehensive list of events going on this week.

Lots of new breweries and bars have opened in town since 2010. Hit me up if you have questions and I can give you some recommendations.

What would you recommend for new stuff in the last year or so? I have been out here a few times, been to Crooked stave and Epic, river north and other places.

Not me, been cheerfully avoiding it for decades now.

You might not like it Nick, no Kellerbier.

Crank the AC and chug a half-pint of Evan Williams.

I really like Beryl’s, which is right around the corner from Epic. A few other places have opened in that neighborhood in the last year, as well, like Spangalang (former Great Divide employees) and Ratio Beer Works, both of which are okay, but not great.

Mockery is another spot basically right across the street from The Source that has been making some good stuff. Great Divide just opened their Barrel Bar right next door, so that’s another excuse to stop over there.

Some of the better places that have opened recently are not very close to downtown, such as Fermaentra, which is near the DU campus. I’ve been impressed with some beers from Call to Arms recently, which is a small place pretty far from downtown (but not far from other quality beer spots, like Hops and Pie) that was recently opened by some guys who used to brew for Avery.

If you didn’t make it to either when you were here last, I’d highly recommend both Hogshead and Station 26. Both are off the beaten path a litte (and in opposite directions from downtown), but both are worth a trip. Station 26 is probably making the best IPAs in the state right now, and Hogshead, IMHO, makes some of the best British-style ales in the country.

Lots of other options. PM me with preferences and I can try to make other recommendations.

These guys are skilled, and the fire station building is one of the better places to drink in Denver.

Cool i will have to get to Fermantra. I am staying in Cherry Creek so that area is easy. Just left Jagged Mountain and drinking at Ratio right now.
