I stood in a room that was maybe 40 feet wide by 40 feet long. I know people who’ve lived in condos this exact size, but I was staring down a modern brewery with a respectable barrel program artfully pieced into the space instead of staring down a bunch of […]

BnL Podcast EP 065: Trends? We Don’t Need no Stinking Trends.
Our first official guest of 2018 is none other than Zack from Chain Reaction Brewing Company. It’s a shortie, but a goodie. We talked about all the cool shit Chain Reaction has coming up at the brewery in the next few months and have a very quick recap of Zack […]
BnL Podcast EP 057: The Gang Gets Drunk in the Park
We mix it up a little bit this week and give you a show that’s quite the variety show. We skip having a guest and instead have the whole BnL team, Sam, Matt and Pete go to the park (read: call Pete from a park) and throw back some beers […]
BnL Podcast EP 056: The Hazy Caramel or WTF is Oitmeal Episode.
This week’s show saw Sam and threepeat return guest Noah of Rocky Mountain Barrel Company fame spend about 30 minutes trying to convince Pete that a new dark, hazy, caramel flavored beer trend is emerging. Then it’s all regional dialect and what Noah would I liken it to the belief […]

BnL Podcast EP 050 – Suns out Party Guns out at Goldspot Brewing
Well, this episode most likely set a record on the show for the most times the word ‘pussy’ was said. Before you light up those torches and sharpen the pitchforks, just know it was for a cause! We had Goldspot Brewing’s head brewer Kelissa on the show It is absorbed […]
I’m not going to GABF and I’m OK with it. I think.
It’s a Sunday evening. I’ve spent most of the day doing food related chores. Grocery shopping. Making beef and broccoli in a crockpot. Prepping for my first-ever attempt to make my own beef jerky. All this is being done sober to boot. I know, I know. How can this be […]
Songs in the Key of Beer and Pizza
Pizza. Beer. These two things combined are frequently cited in people’s “The only thing better than pizza and beer is (insert something cool)” statements. I don’t disagree and would go as far as to say putting these things in a single location with live music and you have yourself something […]
BnL in Denver: A Buzz Cloaked in the Dark of Night
The night is like poetry. Smooth, connected and alluring in its simplicity. I’m biking back to my apartment from downtown Denver. Specifically, the Star Bar, or, Bad Decision Central as I refer to it. I can only sum up tonight as a night my mom would be proud of. Moderation […]
Pliny the Younger: A Tale of Two Tappings
Pliny the Younger (PtY) is an interesting phenomenon to me. There are two general trains of thought: some feel it’s a well marketed over hyped beer while others think it’s one of the best beers in the world. I’m starting to join the camp of the former, but that doesn’t […]

Red Dog: Best in Show (context)
Red Dog n. A beer produced by Miller Brewing Company. An assistive beverage in the attainment of high scores in Medieval Madness and Addams Family pinball machines. When I write “Red Dog” I imagine a few things come to the minds of our dear readers (well, Sam and Pete’s readers […]
Welcome to Denver, Epic
Epic Brewing Company opened its doors to the Denver public on September 28, 2013. Their original brewery opened in Utah in 2008. Have you heard the story yet? The long and short of it goes Utah law made opening a brewery in Denver very attractive for a number of reasons. […]
