Last summer, with an eye on outdoor activities, I took a look at soft-sided coolers. Coming in various shapes and sizes, it was important to note the capacity of these coolers as well as their ability to maintain the cold temperatures of the contents. As we at RateBeer get ready to kick-off the summer festival [...]
Besides being a huge craft beer geek, I love comics. Marvel in particular, and the more recent multi-character story arcs especially. “House of M”, “Civil War”, “Secret Invasion”? Brilliant pieces of literature in their own rights. So needless to say, I’m nerding out pretty hard about the new Avengers movie, which is purportedly awesome as [...]

That title needs a little bit of an explanation. I’m talking about Vine Street Pub & Brewery, the youngest member of the Mountain Sun family of brewpubs– located at 17th and Vine in Denver’s Uptown neighborhood.

This Friday, RateBeer owner Joseph Tucker was on hand at the Russian River Brewing Company for the release of the latest batch of Beatification. Beer lovers lined up down the street to take home bottles of the sour barrel-aged beer. Even at $15 per 375 mL bottle, people were generally taking home their allotment of [...]
No matter who you are, even if you have only the most base, entry-level understanding of American pop-culture, you know this to be true: Homer Simpson has a passionate love for beer and donuts. Serious fans may even remember a moment when Homer drank a cold one while lounging inside a giant metal donut. Pairing [...]
Here are the Hop Press, I take a special interest in Gluten-Free beer as I have a wife who has celiacs. While she was never the beer drinker I am, it’s good to have an alternative when married to a geek like me. So I do my best to search through and discover the world [...]
