Craft Beer and Conversations

We have an annual beer stroll and it's usually in Denver. My fellow Boulder County members have pleaded for an option that doesn't involve going into the city. So let's have a mini beer stroll in Lafayette on Thursday, August 27. Yes, a beer stroll - not a beer crawl - because we always drink responsibly and plan to stay upright, right?!?

Please do not feel like you need to join us for all 3 stops. In fact, it will help with crowd management at these venues if our group numbers are more fluid. So come for the first part and leave early, come later and stay until the end, come to just one stop, come to one stop and stay there with other folks if you really enjoy that spot, skip a stop so you can have more time at your favorite spot. Or come for the whole thing!

You are all adults but here are some common sense suggestions:

• Bring a water vessel that you can refill throughout the stroll. And a good best practice is to drink at least one glass of water for every glass of beer you have.
• Wear comfy shoes!
• Come well-fed or, put differently, don't start drinking on an empty stomach. That being said, several of our stops do serve food.
• Be mindful of your ABV percentages and your serving sizes. My recommendation for lasting longer is smaller pours (10oz or less) and less-boozy beers (6% ABV or lower).
• Take public transportation or an Uber/Lyft. It's the safe thing to do, plus you won't have to worry about parking or backtracking to your car at the end.

Reminders:

1. Feel free to bring others and encourage them to join this Meetup. It'll make it easier for them to hear about upcoming events and to RSVP.
2. Be respectful and welcoming to all members. The organizer reserves the right to remove any member from the group who doesn't play well with others.
3. Similarly, be respectful to the organizer - only RSVP if you are truly coming and make your best effort to give as much advance notice as possible if you need to cancel. This also helps anyone on the Waitlist get a chance to come. And if you're a no-show 3 times, you will be removed from the group.
4. Be smart when drinking alcohol and safe getting home.
5. Events are free and you pay for your own beer. Buying a beer for the organizer is encouraged!

Join us at Milieu Fermentation in Aurora, CO on Tuesday, September 15th. I know some of you may balk at the idea of traveling to Aurora on a Tuesday weeknight. But have I led you astray before? You'll just have to trust me that this is an exceptional brewery worth the trip. Plus, according to their website, Tuesday's special is $6 full pours!

NOTE: We are starting 30 minutes later than our regular time.

2. Be respectful and welcoming to all members. The organizer reserves the right to remove any member from the group who doesn't play well with others! This includes any predatory creeps; there are plenty of other Meetups for single folks, this is not one of them. Our members come to have a good time without having their guard up for unsolicited advances.

Join us at Cannonball Creek Brewing Co. in Golden, CO on Wednesday, September 30th. This brewery shares a parking lot with a 7-Eleven. A very clever marketing person created t-shirts for Cannonball Creek that say "the best beer you'll have in a 7-Eleven parking lot". That should give you a glimpse into the vibe of this brewery that doesn't take itself too seriously.
