Your friends through music (myself and Brandon) will be pouring beers at an upcoming beer festival at the Wynkoop in Denver. The good folks at the Wynkoop are hosting some of the greatest craft breweries who will all be showcasing their dark ales (Stouts, Porters, Barley Wines, etc) and we have been invited to pour beer. We will be using this opportunity to hand out mix tapes, talk shop, sell our Craft Beer T-shirts, and maybe even sell a few records. If any of you good folks are gonna be around Denver on Saturday, January 16th, I highly recommend that you come to this beer fest. Even if you haven’t had a lot of dark ales, I suggest you give this event a try. They will have $1.00 samples or $25 all you can drink beer. I posted a photo of Olde School Barley Wine (my absolute favorite beer on the planet in hopes that Dogfish will be pouring this at their table). As a big beer nerd and even bigger dark beer fan, I am so excited.
Below is the all the official announcement:
Wynkoop Brewing Company is having another “microfest” event (a la the brewpub’s recent Beers of the Year bash) on Saturday, January 16th, 1-5 PM.
