Baby beers at BRU
The beer with lunch. In my non-scientific survey of the Boulder workforce, roughly 100 percent of Boulder’s workers have experienced it. But many are unaware of the dangers of the beer with lunch. Sure, you think everything’s under control — you’ll just head to an ...
A Niwot breakfast without pretense
Many hold the Niwot Market’s Friday evening summer dinners in high esteem. However, it’s also worth noting that this hospitable family-run grocery also dishes out reasonably priced breakfasts and lunches throughout the week...
The pickling revolution takes Boulder
You wouldn’t think things stuffed in jars and steeped in salt, brine, spices or even their own fermented juices could be beautiful. But all lined up, pickles present a range of unique natural colors. There’s something enchanting about tidy jars all in row holding ...
Yeast on Main Street
Louisville’s Main Street is such an ideal small-town drag that it looks like it was pulled from The Truman Show. But it now has full credentials as a Colorado Main Street, as on June 26 it picked up the missing ingredient: a craft brewery. Belgian-centric brewery ...

Squashing the stigma of eating bugs
By 2050, the U.N. predicts, our planet will be inhabited by 2 billion more humans. If income and body mass continue their current upward trends, those billions will be richer and fatter than we are. That means they’ll want meat, not grain. They’ll also want seconds. ...
