About us
Do you like spending time outdoors looking for wildlife, including birds? Do you also like drinking a cold one after? I decided to start this group after coming across announcements for Birds and Beers events in other states. This group will be different in that we will spend some time birding before we go grab a pint. The Denver Metro area offers a variety of great birding spots with local breweries/pubs nearby so we'll have plenty of locations to choose from.
Not a bird nor beer expert? Don't worry. This group is open to anyone with an interest in learning more about both. My hope is that all participants will learn a bit more about birds while meeting fellow nature lovers in the process. We'll get together semi-regularly with meeting times alternating between late afternoons (so you can get in a day's work) and weekends.
Sample location pairings include City Park followed by Vine Street Pub, Three Sisters Mountain Park in Evergreen and Little Bear Saloon, Cherry Creek State Park and Dry Dock Brewery. Do you have ideas on where you'd like to go? Suggestions are welcome and even encouraged.

Birding + Bugging at Coal Creek & Bevs at Acreage
Flagg Park, 12390 Flagg Dr, Lafayette, CO, USLet's go birding again along Coal Creek in Lafayette. This stretch of Coal Creek is known to be a breeding ground for ebony jewelwings, a damselfly that's rare in Colorado. Check out this article in the Daily Camera. I know, I know, it's not a bird, but trust me, they're gorgeous. The birding and damselflying along this riparian stretch is exceptional.
Before sunset, we'll head over to Acreage before sunset. We'll convene on the Back 40 & Lawn with spectacular mountain views. Bring a chair as there's limited seating.
We'll meet at the north end of Majestic Drive. Put Jasper's Splash Zone in your preferred mapping app and you'll get to the right place. You cannot park in Jasper's lot. There's plenty of on-street parking.
Hope to see you there!
