Weekend Beer Buzz 08/24/2012
Weekend. You’re here again! Aaah, I love you Weekend. You’re the BEST!
This past week has been a wild one. At work, my company dedicated an airplane to our great state.
I was on-hand to take part in the festivities and see the aircraft up close.
My work had their yearly “Spirit Party”, which bounces to a different city every year. This year it was held in Denver and we took over Coors Field for the evening. Gotta love working for a company that had a special beer brewed just for the event.
We also had a chance this week to visit Brandon Proff over at Our Mutual Friend Malt & Brew.
This is a new brewery getting set to open in Denver in September. Brandon met with us to talk about his project, his beers and show us around his place. I’m putting together a post that will give you all the details on Our Mutual Friend, so stay tuned.
As if that wasn’t enough, we caught up with Bill Eye over at Prost Brewing for a Preview Party at Prost Brewing.
Amazing. I’m in love with the brewery and the beer. Such a great place. There’s a ton of pics and details in an earlier blog. Just click HERE.
This all went down during the week. Can there really be more fun in store for the weekend? Absolutely!
I took a few extra days off this week because: 1. My beautiful wife is having a birthday this weekend! and 2. Uhm, hello, 4 days off is waaay better than 2!
So let’s do this! You ready?

My weekend’s already in full swing. Kick it off right now and head over to Prost Brewing. And when I say right now, I mean RIGHT NOW! We’ve been waiting for what seems like an eternity for Bill to open his doors at Prost and today is the big day!
Bill Eye, the genius behind some great German-style beers is finally ready to share his amazing brews with you. I’ve had ’em, I love ’em, I want more! Run, do not walk, do not pass GO, do not collect $200! Prost Brewing is located at: 2540 19th St, Denver, CO 80211.
