My sister Susan and I, along with her dog Blackberry, went for a walk around Sloan's Lake Sunday afterrnoon. The place was crowded with people strolling along the lake, or biking, or even rollerblading. Many of them had dogs, too, although Blackberry usually pretends not to notice other dogs (no doubt she has a good sense of self-preservation). On the way back to the car we passed the Odell Brewery, located in the former dormitory for the School of Nursing at St. Anthony's Hospital, which moved to Lakewood a few years ago and has been replaced by upscale apartments, condos, townhouses, and McMansions. The Odell Brewery has a rooftop patio with great views of the lake, as seen in the photograph above. A few months ago we had a beer up there (it is dog friendly, thank God), and it was very pleasant, although I could not help but notice that they charge several dollars more for beer there than at their main brewery in Fort Collins. Either that or the prices have been raised up there since we last visited. Isn't inflation hell? When are they going to release reserves from the emergency federal beer stockpile to drive down prices? It will be not a minute too soon.
