Puff and A Pour | Oliva Cappuccino Nub Café & Oskar Blues BA Ten Fidy
December 23, 2015 | Cory Pelc
It’s been a long time coming but FINALLY we have dedicated some of our ‘free’ time to talking about one of our guiltiest of pleasures, cigars AND beer. The Puff and a Pour series will showcase world-class cigars paired up with some of the finest craft brews. We aren’t professionals (we kind of are) and so much like our devotion to all things craft, it will be geared towards being fun and educational first and foremost. For our first entry into the series, we take a torch to the Cappuccino Nub Café from Oliva and pop the top on the Barrel Aged Ten Fidy from Oskar Blues.

Well, hump day is like a Friday for a lot of us folks in Denver this week. Time to saddle up in the Subaru to go visit your families. Others head to the high country to shred that hyper fierce gnar-gnar. I, personally, will probably just shred through some cellar beers and smoke some cigars. For those of you who stick around town, we have a Thanksgiving-basket-load of events to tide you over and make you very thankful to live in the Mile High City. Also, don’t forget to check our post on where to find BCBS before you going spending any of your hard earned money on stupid TVs and dehydrators.
So, check out our Calendar and plan accordingly, Denver!
