This Week in Colorado BeerSorry for the late calendar, but it's been one of those weeks where I work so long that I don't even have time to think about beer when I get home.
New tappings
*Odell put out its red ale tonight. Aggressively hopped and coming in big at 6.5% ABV, this is a red for the colder season. Review coming soon.
*Thursday: Gordon Biersch (in Broomfield) will tap its Weizen Bock from 6 to 8 p.m. Appetizers will be served to mark the occasion. I'm outta there if there's no bratwurst.
Beer dinners
*Saturday: Oskar Blues pairs up with Louisville's Empire Lounge for a feast (though I'll be damned if I can figure out the starting time). Maybe it will find something to pair with the new Velvet Elvis oatmeal stout.
*Tuesday, 7:30 p.m.: Falling Rock hosts a barleywine dinner. The menu remains confidential, though '07 Bigfoot has been promised. Tickets are $50 if bought by Saturday and $60 if they remain thereafter.
*Thursday, 6-8 p.m. It's not quite dinner, but Bristol Brewing's next class in its winter term of Beer School is an upper-level course on Beer and Food. The "lab fee" is $40 for the beer and food.
