The Denver Beer Company - A Neighborhood Gathering Spot


My sister Susan and I stopped in at the Denver Beer Company on South Downing Street here in Denver the Monday before last and I was surprised to find it was doing a booming business. I expect the place to be hopping on a Friday or Saturday, but a Monday? Located where the University, Platt Park, and Rosedale neighborhoods meet, it is within walking distance of all three and has attracted a huge following among the neighbors. Every night there are retirees, families with children, young singles, and thanks to the proximity of the University of Denver, college students, too. It is also very dog friendly. Surprisingly, a woman sitting at a table across from us introduced herself and told us she lived in the same building we did, which I thought was kind of nice. It is indeed very pleasant to sit out on the patio in the late afternoon and enjoy the pleasant weather and the ambience, which is what Susan is doing in the above photograph. And best of all, the Denver Beer Company has very good beer. Despite that, Susan actually decided to order wine instead. Talk about sacrilege! What can you do?
