If you had to live the life of a character in a song, which song would you choose?
I would be Bobby McGee and hang out with Janis Joplin.

Where would you most like to live or visit that you haven't yet?
I haven't been to Amsterdam yet and I think I would love it.

What was the last thing that made you really mad?
Watching Tiny House Hunters and listening to the potential buyers complain that the house doesn't have enough space. They are buying a TINY house. Painful.

What's the best concert you've ever attended?
Pearl Jam at the Spectrum. It was the last show held there before it was torn down. Epic.

What was your favorite grade in school?
Second. Mrs. Donlin ruled.

What are you reading right now?
I can't sit still long enough to read anything.

 

Wall full of whiskey. I'm in trouble.

Whiskey, water, or wine?
Add coffee and beer to this list and that equals all the liquids I drink.

North or South?
North!

Pizza or tacos?
Both. I love food. All of it.

6 Colorado Craft Beers to Try Now

WinterWonderGrass Colorado is right around the corner (February 19-21), and we couldn't be more excited to be part of it! To get ready for the festival, we've spent a lot of time drinking researching some of the best craft beers Coloado has to offer (and man, does that state have a lot of breweries). Here's a handful of our favorite Colorado breweries, all of which you'll find at the Beer Hall during the festival.

In the meantime, we're giving away a pair of VIP tickets to WinterWonderGrass + a prize pack filled with two Klean Kanteen mugs, a WWG denim hat, two BGS leather koozies, two BGS stickers, and one BGS t-shirt. Click here to enter.

Crazy Mountain Brewing Company

A presenting sponsor of the festival, Crazy Mountain Brewing Company is located in the beautiful Vail Valley and is the first production brewery in the area. Run by a husband and wife duo, the brewery offers a number of year round brews — like the Crazy Mountain Amber Ale — as well as seasonal selections, like Snowcat Coffee Stout. 

Great Divide Brewing Company

Another presenting sponsor of the festival, Great Divide boasts two taprooms and a long list of delicious beers. From seasonal to year-round to barrel-aged, there's surely something to whet your whistle … like the Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout or Hercules Double IPA.

Aspen Brewing Company

A brewery that also goes to great lengths to feature great music, Aspen Brewing Company is known for a small roster of delicious brews. Check out the Vanilla Rum Porter, if you're feeling wintry, or grab This Season's Blonde, if you enjoy a funny label.

Odell Brewing Company

Not sure what beer you're in the mood for? Fear not. Fort Collins' Odell Brewing Company has a Mood Finder conveniently located on their website to direct you to one of their many offerings — from the sour Meddler ale to the seasonal Lugene stout. 

Vail Brewing Co.

Not only does Vail Brewing Co. make great beer, they give their beers great names: Wit and Nae Nae, Weiz So Serious, and Kama Citra IPA to name a few. And craft kombucha fans, there's something for you to enjoy, too!

Oskar Blues Brewing

It's impossible to talk about Colorado beer without mentioning Oskar Blues, one of the state's best-known foamy exports. Even if you aren't in Colorado, you can likely pick up a six pack of Pinner or Old Chub at your local craft beer store.
