2010 Great American Beer Festival GABF
I was thrilled when I found out I was going to be in Denver for work this week. And, just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, I called the crew from Full Sail Brewing from my Brewmaster Cuisinternship, and they allowed me to extend my internship for just one more day. They let me use one of their brewer’s passes to attend GABF. I really can’t thank them enough, and I really didn’t mind being called...
176. Wynkoop Brewing – Mile HI.P.A. IPA Draft
I met up with my friend from the homebrew club at Great Divide, and we knew we needed to grab a bite to eat to get something in our stomachs before heading over to the Great American Beer Festival.

174. Great Divide Brewing – Hibernation Ale Draft

They were actually currently brewing and serving their Hibernation ale, which is their winter seasonal. It was brown in color and had a very thick, tan head on it. The head retention was...
173. Great Divide Brewing – Rumble Oak-Aged IPA
We finished up with work, and I’ve extended my work trip in Denver for one extra day so that I can attend the Great American Beer Festival. As a beer lover, this is an event I’ve always wanted to attend, but never thought I would actually be able to. The timing of this trip worked out perfectly. However, since GABF didn’t start until the evening, I had to find something to do with myself for the afternoon. I saw...
