Freshcraft: Food, Beer, and Spirits in Denver, CO

Fried Pickles
Little did we know that Denver is quite a Foodie Town. Their dining options were vast and varied and offered a fair amount of diversion for the road warriors of the VR business at ESI. Jacob and Eric made a quick stop after setting up VR demo at the convention center by taking the Lyft out to Freshcraft. Boasting a selection of 100+ american craft beers we had high hopes.


As with any place you visit with a long beer list it is hard to fault them for lack of choice, very hard to in a single visit determine if the list is sufficiently comprehensive or upto date. I din't count but sure more than 100, I guess. I went for a couple Colorado beers, which is the thing to do in new locales (if you ask me).  They offer cask and nitro, in addition to typical taps; 26 on list. And 85 cans and bottles.  Living east of the Mississippi, many of the beers were not recognizable to me unless they were globally distributed German or Belgian beers or mainstream crossovers. Not a single Michigan Beer, which did not affect me, but is a surprise given the wide distribution of Bells and Founders.
Cuban Burger
The food was good. I went for the Cuban Burger (which was a special) essentially a Cubano sandwich and burger mash-up. Ham, Cheese, pickles, mustard, all grilled together and placed on the burger. Messy but good.

Moonrise Kingdom, a cozy craft beer bar in Tokyo-Shinjuku

Craft Brewing is not what normally comes to mind when people ask about Japan. They'll ask if you like raw fish (there is more to Japanese cuisine than Sashimi or Sushi), or they'll comment about Sake (there is more than just rice wine in Japan); but if you look, you will definitely find some. Our recent trip to Tokyo, this April just after the Sakura had been swept away by rain :-( we were able to find a perfectly suitable refuge for the Craft Beer Lover.  Moonrise Kingdom(via their Instagram) StringGrrl with one of the NEIPA/Hazy IPA on tap from Japanese Craft Breweries As a treat, the owners shared an American Milk Stout from Left Hand Brewing out of Colorado Local ExPat who gave up their stool to make room for StringGrrl and Kam Carryout beer from Kyoto Brewing Company, Vertere

EYWTKAMABIWRTS

everything you wanted to know about my accident but I wasn't ready to share  (u pdated 28th February. Done, gone home, Scroll to see more ) Here's the lowdown since curiosity abounds: 1) NO, I didn't have a skiing accident. I resent the implication. I owned that fucking Hill . (Family Friendly video) 2) It was a sled 🛷 . It's not an extreme sport. It's called a Rodelbahn (toboggan road) and is considered fun for the whole family. Sebastian supplied the sleds/toboggans, and after a full morning on the mountain skiing. We planned to use the few remaining hours of lift access to run the Rodelbahn. Totally reasonable. 3) The run isn't like a luge or bobsled but a trail down reasonable slopes (switchbacks adjacent to a green dot, blue square ski run) but maybe a bit narrower. Rodelbahn at Nauders 4) I think I over-steered at the exact wrong time and was catapulted into the trees, and down a steep slope, bounced off many trees, broke a few d...
