Four Brew-Centric Events to Attend this Week

OVERLAND — Declaration Brewing is hosting an open mic night this Tuesday, December 1. Beginning at 7p.m., catch some of Denver's local talent while enjoying a brew, or muster up the courage and go onstage yourself. Both musicians and comedians are welcome.

SUNNYSIDE — Join Factotum Brewhouse on every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday for the whole month of December to play "naughty or nice". From open until 6 p.m., head to Factotum to let the cards decide if Santa is bringing you a gift (a free beer) or a lump of coal (a beer that costs $1 extra). If you pull a naughty card, don't fret - the extra dollar will go to neighborhood non-profit Feed Denver. Visit the event's Facebook page for more information.

RINO — This Wednesday December 2, head to Crooked Stave to celebrate the new release of Nightmare on Brett Cherry. This exclusive small batch beer, which is brewed in whiskey barrels with Colorado sour cherries, will be sold in bottles in limited amounts starting at 5 p.m. For more information on the beer and the event, visit here.

AURORA — On Thursday, December 3, Dry Dock is debuting its new Bligh's barley wine at the Canoe Room. Beginning at 2 p.m., guests can taste the beer on tap and purchase bombers at this release event. To satisfy any hunger cravings, Big Kiwi Eats will start dishing out New Zealand style bites from its food truck at 3:30pm.
