My sister Susan and I visited New Terrain Brewing Company in Golden, Colorado yesterday afternoon, thinking it would be pretty uncrowded, what with the cool weather and all. The big draw at New Terrain has always been its outdoor patio, filled during the summer with all manner of people, many with their dogs in tow, having a beer while enjoying views of nearby Table Mesa and Table Mountain. And so, I was surprised to find cars parked along the street as we approached the place, and, of course, a full parking lot. After finally getting a parking spot, we did indeed find a pretty empty patio, but inside the place was packed. We found one table that was empty, but with a baby carriage in front of it. We sat down, and soon a couple of guys, one with a one-year-old baby, approached, but happily were willing to share the table.
There were families, young people, retirees, you name it enjoying themselves at New Terrain yesterday. In the summer, musical acts perform on a stage out on the patio, but in the winter, they play on a make-shift stage inside, mostly on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. And I saw on a poster that this New Year's Eve, none other than Foggy Mountain Spaceship will be playing "original compositions, bluegrass favorites, psychedelic instrumentals, and more." Unfortunately, I am not sure I want to listen to psychedelic instrumentals. I think psychedelic instrumentals might be an acquired taste. Perhaps next New Year's Eve instead.
