Conqering the Grape Divide: IMT Summer Nights

Conqering the Grape Divide: IMT Summer Nights

Nothing beats a summer night with a glass of wine. I have a feeling that I am going to be spending my summer nights at Infinite Monkey Theorem (IMT).  They just kicked off their Summer Nights calendar of unique events, so you have no reason to sit at home this summer. IMT has you covered...

Pints of Interest: The Brewery in the ‘Burbs: Lone Tree Brewing Co.

It is really easy to drive right past Lone Tree Brewery and not notice that it is there, but hidden away far south in Lone Tree just across C-470 from the Park Meadows Mall is this up and coming Colorado craft-brewery that is breaking away from the idea that craft beer can only be made in the mountains...

Conquering the Grape Divide: Barrel Into Spring

The last weekend of Palisade’s Barrel into Spring event is coming up May 18-19, 2013.  You don’t want to miss this event!

Pints Of Interest: Cabotella Mexican Ale: The Craft Import

Cinco De Mayo used to be a Mexican holiday, but here in the U.S. we have embraced the tradition, and turned every May 5th into the best reason to drink way too many Mexican beers at the unofficial start of BBQ season. This year, when you are trying to figure out what beer to bring...
Pints of Interest: New Brew

Pints of Interest: New Brew

This year, the guys up at New Belgium Brewing, the makers of Fat Tire and many other award winning beers, have decided to kick off summer early by releasing their newest seasonal offering, Rolle Bolle Ale.

A celebration of pink wine is happening at Forest Room 5, 2532 15th St. in Denver. On May 10th from 6-8pm Denver wine enthusiasts are going to gather, sip, and show off their best pink ensembles.

Thirsty Girl: Summer Time Drinkin’

Van Gogh Vodka has launched new flavors that are making me thirsty for summer. I love drinking alfresco and Van Gogh has a few recipes that will encourage you to relax and soak up the sun on those days that brunch runs into lunch.   Van Gogh Vodka is the brand that’s been a pioneer in...
Techin' In: A Cure For Alcoholism?

Techin’ In: A Cure For Alcoholism?

A Chinese tree extract previously used to treat hangovers has shown incredible promise in limiting the body’s reaction to alcohol, and just may lead to a magic pill to fight alcoholism. DHM- AntiBooze Dihydromyricetin (DHM), a key component of the oriental raisin tree, appears to be an intoxication blocker. DHM was given to rats in...
Baseline Chatter: Rockies Libation List Changeup

Baseline Chatter: Rockies Libation List Changeup

Opening Day in Denver is one of the largest alcohol-ingesting, shenanigan ensuing “holidays”, perhaps second only to St. Patrick’s Day (and let’s be honest, it’s a toss up). And, on April 5th, Rockies fans can zip, sip and root for their home team. Beer, the long preferred beverage at baseball games, will see major competition as...

Thirsty Girl: Sipping on the Slopes

 With ski season well underway, Coloradans and jet setters alike are flocking to the slopes of Aspen to enjoy the finest that spring skiing has to offer. Skiing makes me very thirsty. The Little Nell’s newly renovated Element 47 exclusively offers the Nachtmann Aspen Smash, an après-ski cocktail. Created by The Little Nell’s newly minted...
Thirsty Girl: bRUNch Running Group

Thirsty Girl: bRUNch Running Group

I like to think that Denver is full of fit people who brunch together after long runs in the park. Does this sound like Mayberry? I think it sounds like bRUNch™, Denver’s newest exercise and libations running group. The only way you can convince me to run is the promise of food and booze.  For...
