Snowdown 2010
I’ve written a bit about Snowdown (Carver Beard Growing Contest and Ska Brewing Co’s Hyper Fierce Gnar Gnar Hefe), and now that it’s upon us I thought I’d post some of the beer and bike related events.

Big Grizz Barleywine and Other Seasonals at Carver Brewing Co.
I stopped by Carver Brewing Co. last week to try the Big Grizz Barleywine and see what other beers have come on tap recently. Big Grizz Barleywine Style Ale is back and it’s good.

As I mentioned two months ago, the Four Corners Mug Club is going through some changes.

Four Corners/Durango Mug Club
The Durango Mug Club is something I was super impressed with when I first heard about it. The local breweries get together and each sell mugs with memberships in the “Mug Club”, once a year one buys a mug and then enjoys cheaper beers every time they take that mug to one of the... »
News Tidbits and a Return to Blogging
It’s been quiet around here lately. Unfortunately when things get busy in my professional or personal lives blogging is the first thing to give way, but expect the postings to start back up around here. A lot happened in the past couple of weeks and a lot is coming up in the next few... »
