Denver Winter Brew Fest

Megan and I met Art, Ericka, Greg and Kristy at this fun event. The event was held at the Mile High Station. We stayed at the hotel on one side of Invesco Field and had to walk to the other side to get to the festival, 10 minute walk at the most. We bought VIP tickets to get the early, extra hour of drinking. I like doing this if it isn't to pricey because you never know how crowded its going to be. I'm really glad we did this because we got to taste the main beers we were really wanting to. Twisted Pine had a growler of fresh Reilly's Oak Whiskey Red that had been barrelled for 11 or 14 months. It was quite tasty, even Megan liked it. I think there where about 40 brewers in attendance. Favorite beers: #1 Great Divide Espresso Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout (this stuff was excellent!), Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary Jack & Ken's Ale (a barley wine), Anderson Valley Hop Ottin' IPA and their Winter Solstice Seasonal Ale. Also had a few ODell Red, OB Ten Fidy, other very good Great Divide beers, Upslope, a Rogue Dead Guy Ale, Boulder Chocolate Stout, Alaskan IPA and a Stone IPA. Picked up a pretty sweet Sierra Nevada banner for free to put up in the basement! I love freebies, key chains, stickers, etc.!
