Nat'l Can Day; Real-Time Hop Infusions at Bull & Bush

In honor of National Canned Craft Beer Day, Eaterwire is strictly beer-related. Cheers!

DENVER— A beer holiday like National Canned Craft Beer Day deserves some homage, especially since the first craft beer was canned in Colorado over at Oskar Blues. With that in mind, consider taking a trip to Star Bar over in the Ballpark hood where cans are $3 all night long. The Gubna from Oskar Blues will even be in the house. [Facebook]

GLENDALE—If you ever dreamed about being able to infuse your beer with hops of choice, Bull & Bush Pub and Brewery is granting your wishes. The pub announced today that drinkers can come and experiment with different hop varieties. Beer Advocate compares The Hop Inciter 3000 (intense, right?) the process to making coffee with a French press. [Beer Advocate]

DURANGO— Ska Brewing, like other breweries in our mighty beer state, reports that 2011 was a year of growth with sales up 28 percent from 2010. [Beer News]
