Ok, so it's day one of GABF and if you're not at the session and interested in wondering around a little, here's what's on tap (in both senses of the phrase) tonight at Uptown Brothers Brewing Co.
First, a pretty doggone good review of the food. Yes, food, in a craft beer bar. Here's the link to Wednesday's Denver Post food section: http://www.denverpost.com/food/ci_16066270
Next, tonight's events: Breckenridge Brewing Co's unofficial GABF Kickoff Party, public absolutely welcome! Meet the dedicated crazies who brew and package those fine Breckenridge beers. We'll have 471 IIPA on tap, also Trademark Tripel (beer number 10 on Breck's "Rare Beer Tour", and only available at Uptown Brothers Brewing Co) and at least a few pints from our almost-ready-to-kick keg of Lucky U IPA. And for your listening pleasure, the "cosmic country" of Colorado Goat Roper's Guild, comprised totally, or mostly, of Breckenridge brewers and cellarmen.
In our upstairs area, the cool dudes from brewcrewtv.com and their social group (read: drinking club) #BREWden are meeting and greeting and filming and drinking. Join them! Get on their twitter list. They always know where the party is.
As for what's literally on tap, I can't seem to import the menu my fat fingers labored over for an hour today, so let's just say 32 draft beers including the Breckenridge beers named above, two from Lost Abbey (Lost and Found and Red Barn, Avery IPA and White Rascal, Dogfish Head Punkin, Russian River Damnation, the Victory/Stone/Dogfish collaboration Saison Du B.U.F.F, Tommyknocker Hop Strike, Asher Greenade, Sierra Nevada Tumbler and 30th Anniversary Heller Bock; Avery The Kaiser and Ruminator; and the undisputed big dog, Oskar Blues ODB ("Ol Double Bagger")weighing in at 13.2% ABV....and 14 more, which we hope to empty so we can put on some of our reserves, including Moylander Hopsickle, Three Barrel Brewery's Penitente; and The Bruery's Autumn Maple.
Come see us!
