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 at Waneka Lake & with coffee this time!
Waneka Lake Park, 1600 Caria Dr, Lafayette, CO 80026, USA, Lafayette, CO, USWhen: Saturday, Oct 3 at 8:00 AM
Birding: Waneka Lake — meet at The Shack
Afterward: OTIS Collective for coffee, tea & treatsThis year’s drought conditions seem to be pushing some species typically found in the mountains east to lower elevations. Waneka Lake is always a winner, so we’re starting earlier to see if we can get eyes on something new!
Where to meet: The Shack (39°59'49.2"N 105°06'51.0"W), the small building at the northwest corner of Waneka Lake, just south of the deck at Greenlee. The best parking is along Salina Street, west of Greenlee.
After birding, we’ll head to OTIS Collective for some social time. In the same building, you’ll also find Button Rock Bakery and Nok’s Donuts. We’ll gather outside on the south side of the building — if you ever joined us at Sanitas Lafayette, it’s outside their former space.
Hope to see you there!17 attendees
