12 Beers of Christmas Day 11 | Prairie Christmas BOMB!
December 24, 2014 | Cory Pelc
Prairie Artisan Ales – Christmas Bomb!
ABV: 11%
Merry Christmas everybody! Hope everyone gets exactly what they want this year!
I’ve already doted on Prairie Artisan Ales and, more namely, Prairie Bomb! on several occasions. When I caught word that Prairie was building a new bomb, a bigger and more powerful bomb, a Christmas Bomb!, I was of the utmost stoked. Billed as the O.G. Bomb! with “Christmas spices” added or “brewed with spices”, Prairie does well to not over-bill this as a completely different beer. It is, essentially, Bomb! with Christmas spices added or Bomb! “brewed with spices.” And that; that is why I love it so much!

Grist Brewing Co | Berliner Weisse

ABV: 5.4% | IBU: 13 | SRM: 6
As we are hitting record highs here in Denver, we know that summer is leaving us. We know it. But we can’t just say goodbye to its beers just yet! So, as leaves are falling on the ground and as Misun’s Goodbye Summer plays on my iPhone, I snag an old summer style favorite of mine, the Berliner Weisse. The brew is new to me and is from the Denver suburb of Highland’s Ranch; the brewery is Grist Brewing Company.

BACON AND BEER! Do not sleep on buying tickets! This event sells out in just a few weeks time!
In past years (we were there both years y’all!), this event has boasted some amazin’ bacon bites and the tastiest quaffs of local craft and this year is no different! For the ticket price, this is my favorite event of the year! Here are some reasons you should get in on this bacon escape and let the waves of ale take you out to sea!

What: The Grand Coffee Bazaar – A coffee-centric event celebrating Denver coffee roasters.
Where: Our Mutual Friend – 2810 Larimer St, Denver, Colorado
When: Sunday, October 19, 2014 – 10am-2pm
We here at PorchDrinking.com believe in all of our libations being well-crafted, and this doesn’t fall short in the AM when we need a quick pick-me-up. Denver is seeing a resurgence of craft coffee and artisan roasters, and we aren’t the only ones taking note. So, it only makes sense that we are getting hella stoked on Denver’s upcoming caffeinated invitational, the Grand Coffee Bazaar. Our down-ass-homies over at Imbibe are throwing this first-of-its-kind event, promising deliciously roasted beans, brews carefully prepared from a variety of mechanisms and methods, brunch foods via food trucks, specialty coffee libations and craft beer.

Another crazy week of GABF events is behind us as well as summer and its festival season. This week is a breath of fresh air for many brewers, front of house staff and bottle shoppe owners in the Denver area. As we push closer to the holidays, we will see an increase in more localized tastings, pairings and celebrations. So we raise a glass to our friends in beer and congratulate them on their medals, lack of beer and lack of sleep as we eschew you readers into a few events that are most excellent. The local #Denverbeer scene isn’t off the rails this week but their is still some serious buzzing on the track and light moving through the tunnel.
