The best magazine
- 1). Check out Denver's very first brewpub, founded (by Mayor Hickenlooper) in 1988. The Wynkoop Brewing Company, housed in the 19th century J. S. Brown Mercantile Building, is one of the world's largest brewpubs as well, producing thousands of barrels of beer each year right on the premises. These include cask-conditioned ales such as Quinn’s Scottish Ale, Churchyard Ale and Splatz Porter as well as their famous Oktoberfest-style RailYard Ale.
- 2). Drop by Rock Bottom Brewery to sample Colorado-themed brews including Buffalo Gold (a nod to the CU mascot), Falcon Pale Ale (in recognition of the Air Force Academy athletic teams), and Molly’s Titanic Brown Ale (named after "unsinkable" Denverite Molly Brown). If you're in a hurry you can grab a 22 oz. bomber to go, or a half-gallon growler or 5 or 15 gallon keg if you plan to do some serious partying.
- 3). Down an Avalanche Ale, Agave Wheat, Vanilla Porter or seasonal specialty ale at Breckenridge Brewery & Pub. While the original location of this brwpub is in the Rocky Mountain town of Breckenridge, the Denver location offers the same handcrafted brews at two Denver locations: one at 22nd and Blake right by Coors Field, and the other in South Denver's Golden Triangle district.
- 4). Discover traditional British cask-conditioned "Real Ales" such as Phone Box Amber, Airedale Pale Ale, Alchemy E.S. B. and Gael Force Ale at Pint's Pub on West 13th Street. If you'd like a taste of the "hard stuff." Pint's also offers over 250 different types of single malt whiskey.
- 5). Enjoy a beer and a ballgame at Coors Field's own Blue Moon Brewing Company @ the SandLot, located on the Main Concourse behind section 112. This brewpub, which has been in operation ever since Coors Field opened in 1995, is Coors-owned, but the beers are handcrafted and distinctive.
