River North Brewing

River North Brewing is located in the RiNo district in Denver. They've been open for 8 months but have 7 beers on tap from a farmhouse ale to a table sour ale. A very unusual ale was the Oaked Imperial Wit, subtle and tasty. Patrick, one of the brewer's was serving us today.

Lunch at Backcountry Pizza and Tap House

Lunch at Backcountry Pizza and Tap House with their 52 microbrewery beers on tap is a pleasure to indulge. You might be lucky to be seated next to the owner, John who can spin a yarn as no one else can. Today they have New Belgian's Shadow of the Foeder, a blend of 1554 and sour Love Felix on cask. Also on tap is JW Lee's Autumn limited edition, a strong ale.

2009 Ten Fidy Sour

GABF has come and gone but the remainders can be still be found on tap like this 2009 sour Ten Fidy by Oskar Blues. It's a rich sweet and sour Imperial Stout, at 10.5% alcohol, I'll have a taster please!

Grand Opening of Black Shirt Brewing

I have been wanting for 2 years for this brewery to open. I met the brewer and fellow owners of the Black Shirt when they were brewing in their basement in Centennial Colorado, since then they found a building to house their brewery and with perseverance they are finally opening.
Grand Opening October 13, more information will be posted on Facebook, so like Black Shirt Brewing.
It coincides with the last day of GABF, so if your in the RiNo district in Denver stop on by. Just look for the red door with BSB monogram and have a pint of the Red Ale.

Black Shirt Brewing Co

Saturday was a backyard party at Black Shirt Brewing in the RiNo district in Denver. Party started at 5 pm in the back area of the brewery. The tables from the taproom were placed outside for this event and the Mestizos Food Truck was there providing munchies throughout the evening.



This night they wet hopped their red ale in two version batches; one with Centennial hops and another with Willamette hops. the hops were from Voss Farm Colorado. It was an even draw on which one tasted better, I liked the Willamette red while Larry preferred the Centennial red ale. The Willamette hops were more subtle and smooth while the Centennial hopped ale had a strong hop aroma with a bitter aftertaste.















As the night progressed, more patrons dropped by, some who know about the party in advance and some who were passersby curious about the brewery. With GABF just a week away, I hope Chad, Carissa, and Branden are ready for the flood of curious beer folks at Black Shirt Brewing.
