Boot Strap Brewing; a new brewery in Niwot, Colorado

Today I met up with Leslie and Steve Kaczues owners of a new brewery,Boot Strap Brewing. The brewery isn't quite open yet, they're projecting sometime in June for their grand opening. We had a beer at the local tavern and talk about the brewery. These two people have a passion for their new endeavor, it shows on their faces as we chatted that this is not a fly by night operation but a long time dream that will be coming true soon. Like the brewery on Facebook as a solidarity act for the small local business. Keep an eye out for their opening to form your opinion on the beer.

Oskar Blues beer and rock music

It seems that people in Colorado love blue grass music with their beer, visit any taproom on the weekend and they'll have live blue grass music while the beers are pouring, well I just came to the realization that hard rock goes good with beer. While driving home from Oaskar Blues Can Can Girls Beer Club I wa listening to Van Halen and it'd was great. A little buzzed and driving down 95th with Van Halen was a good mixture that I needed to tell you all that rock goes with anything! Beer and Rock, yeah, no need for blue grass at all.
