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).

Thirsty Girl: Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey Workshop

Thirsty Girl: Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey Workshop

I’m a whiskey girl. And  I’m ashamed to admit this, but this week was my first visit to Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey.
