I didn't actually attend the Great American Beer festival, but I did attend a pretty sweet 'after party' at Falling Rock Tap House. The Great American Beer Festival takes place in the fall in Denver every year. Apparently it used to be a pretty classy event... nice commemorative glasses and fun times. The word is that now you get little plastic cups for your tasting, and the number of sheer drunk people has gotten humongous. I understand the plastic cups though, as the liability of hundreds of drunk people toting around glassware was probably just too much for GABF. I don't blame them... the liability of one drunk girlfriend with glassware is more than Sean's homeowners policy can handle.
This year GABF came a little earlier than usual and caught me by suprise. Falling Rock always has great events in the week leading up to the GABF. It was Thursday and GABF was in full swing before Kelli and I realized that we were missing Falling Rock parties.
Now, I've been meaning to check out a bunch of things on the internet:
O roadsideamerica.com for places to stop on me and Kelli's next roadtrip.
O Information on the proper documents for custody change of a teen. The best way to store dry pastas.
O A recipe using artichokes (which I really need to do before the artichokes go bad)...
O But the only real internet search I've done in weeks was finding out what kind of stuff was going on at Falling Rock. In case it's not been apparent through the course of my baby-aged blog, beer is a high priority for me. I'm not a drunk, I just think beer is freaking amazing. There's a great history and culture in the beer world.. a history and culture I could go on about all day.
But enough of this rambling on about my crush on beer. Let's get to the pictures!!
Falling Rock is located in the heart of LoDo, just a half block south of Coors Field. It's always a happenin' place on Saturday nights... but on a GABF Saturday night, it's actually chock full o'people that love beer. Not just drunk chicks that accidentally wander in when they get lost on their way to some club on Larimer Street. Look at all those beer geeks!!
Chris is one of the owners of the bar, and he's a super friendly guy. He's also SUPER SMART about beer and seems to love his job. When you spend your days around tons of great beers and have beautiful women asking to take pictures with you, consider yourself a winner. I'm pretty sure Chris does.
Really, doesn't that guy look like one happy dude?
I really could go on all day about this event and the fun I had and the people we met and the beers I drank, but I think this will have to suffice for the moment. I have quite the short attention span, so the actual act of creating a blog post can sometimes take me a while. It makes me wonder if I'm actually cut out for this blogging thing. Which, I have great stories, so I feel I'm a good candidate for blogging.. but wonder if maybe this is why some people have others write their memoirs. A friend with ADD will be with you through good times, help you find the fun times and, oh... have you seen my keys?
So without further adieu, I'm going to give you some teasers and get on with my other various tasks that I may or may not finish in any certain terms. I'll post another thread in the extremely near or possibly very cose future... You'll just have to wait and see if anything amazing happens later in the night (something does.)
You'll find out who this guy is:
Why Kelli is being hugged to death:
And what a beer named "Love" tastes like... (It's not as bitter as you'd imagine)
