Oh, my, Day 8 of Beer Week is a busy one. In addition to the ongoing Lips of Faith series at Geckos, there are nine other events. Yup, nine. Pick and choose carefully. In a bit of shameless self-promotion, we in the Crew would definitely recommend a visit to Marble at 6 p.m. That’s where…

Beer Week: E-Rock tackles taste-a-palooza
Many breweries had tastings on Tuesday night. I made it to four different establishments to see what was new for Beer Week. I started the evening at Two Fools where Sierra Nevada released Hoptimum (100 IBU, 7.8% ABV). This dry and hoppy double IPA was what Stoutmeister would refer to as a kung-fu kick to…
