The rumor didn't push me at all, NB did. I paid for the order to be rushed and delivered on a Friday so I could brew Sunday. Days go by, order hadnt shipped. Emailed them saying if it couldn't show up Friday to cancel my entire order so I could purchase locally. Shipping was refunded and it...

Hoax or not, I'm done ordering from NB. Last 2 orders did not make it by the promised delivery date even with paying for expedited shipping.

Looks a LOT like the downdraft fans that Jenn Air attached to their cook tops. I've been out of that business a long time now, but for one reason or another the system was designed to run at a certain air speed, not necessarily CFM, but the actual velocity of the air. Yeah I know they kinda...

Used my member code and my wife's to get 4 tix to Saturday afternoon and 4 to Thursday. My wife's code got tickets right away, mine still said waiting 15 minutes, tried it another browser session and had tickets within a couple of minutes while the other still said 15 minutes. Slightly better...

The beer at Ouray Brewery is decent, not on the level of Ska, but you can't beat the views on their rooftop patio.

Thinking about different ways to pull this off. Even being completely below grade, my basement only gets to about 63, even in the winter in Denver. I could just use a stand up freezer with a temp controller, but want something a little more visually appealing. I was thinking an insulated...

Not even a hesitation for me to choose Avery. They really cover the whole gamut from gateway beers like White Rascal and Joe's Pilsner to stuff like Tweak, Thensaurum, Maharaja, etc.

Depending on where in Littleton you'll be there are some great liquor stores to check out. If you're on the western side of town, go to Tipsy's Liquor World at Bowles and 470. East side of Littleton go to Davidson's at County Line and Holly. When they were building Tipsy's I thought it was a...

Planning on heading out there in February. Unbeknownst prior to planning this trip, we should be able to get our hands on some Pliny the Younger as it coincides with the release. Plan is to fly into SFO, and meander our way down to San Diego stopping at various craft breweries along the way...

I personally don't think there's anything wrong with Schells, they're in New Ulm and my parents both grew up in Mankato and I was always under the impression they were along the lines of Grainbelt (which they now own) and Hamm's. My dad seemed surprised that I was buying beer from Schells as he...

Could just be someone flagging your ad too.

PLENTY of other beer related things going on in Denver that week, I'd say it's definitely still worth the trip. This is going on the Friday of GABF: http://www.pintsforprostates.org/?p=1429

Only session I can still get tix to is Saturday night.

I got my tickets for Saturday, but not able to go back in and get them for Thursday. Oh well, give it another shot tomorrow I guess.

Same plan here. Everything I've heard says Fri night and Sat night are absolute sh*t shows.
