My second night in Denver was a fun one. One of the Denver office employess, Matt, took me to Denver’s First brew pub. The first thing I ordered was a beer sampler. I was expecting to get 5 or 6 glasses, but our waiter brought me a baker’s dozen of new beers to try.
While their lagers didn’t jump out at me, their St. Charles ESB, Wixa Weiss, Patty’s Chile Beer, Sagebrush Stout, and Monkey’s Fist IPA were all winners in my book. I had two more Wixa Wiess and several more IPAs before the night was over. I had some shepherd’s pie with the beer sampler, too. Indeed, it was tasty. 
I walked a short jaunt over to Blake Street Tavern near Coors Field to watch some Monday Night Football and to get some Flying Dog. I was welcomed by a hostess with a big smile, and she sat me in a semicircle of what seemed to be 4 or 5 HD TVs. NICE.
First order of business, get a Gonzo Imperial Stout.
Second order of business, get a beer sampler. My waitress, Lizzy, brought me a 6-beer sampler of their draught Flying Dog fare. It was nice indeed.

Green Chili Cheese Fries (waaaay too much food, I had about 8 bites). Spicy!!!!
After a little dinner and tasting, I ordered a few more IPAs and a few more Whites. It was a nice relaxing night.
I’m going to Denver, CO for work in nine days. While I was sitting on my couch enjoying a Flying Dog Classic Pale this evening, I thought to myself, “Hey, the Flying Dog brewery is in Denver; I should do a brewery tour one afternoon while I’m there.”
Just thought I would share. I’m pretty fired up about it.
