Dennis sent this late arriving picture of us at Southern Sun yesterday. This morning we can see the mountains from our hotel room. CJ discovers huevos rancheros for breakfast. It's one of the best preparations ever.
It's partly sunny and we begin the day with a return visit to the Pearl Street Mall. Today we photograph three more of the bronze sculptures; the bison, bobcat, and hawk.
There are many interesting shops. The mall is pretty by day. We find some exotic teas and cute Christmas presents for the children. The animated T-rex with antlers is quite creative.
For lunch we return to West Flanders Brewery for brew and a good chicken guacamole burger. You have to love the attitude of the folks at West Flanders. Temperature dependent happy hour.
As most others in the state of Colorado on this Sunday we watched the Denver Bronco's game until we had to leave for dinner.
This evening we take a taxi to our favorite craft brewery on the planet, Avery! They opened a huge new brewery earlier this year and we've yearned to visit it since it opened. Most breweries have rolling taps of their line. Avery has everything on tap! The taxi is going to be a very wise decision.
We picked Sunday for our visit since today is the release date for the new Vanilla Bean Stout. It's delicious. Following a short stint at the bar our table is ready.
It's been years since we ordered a BBQ nacho platter but the description of this one is too good to pass up; perhaps the best nachos ever. After nearly filling up on the nachos, the three of us split a dinner selecting the meat plate featuring their chorizo, brisket, and ribs. The portions were large enough for one appetizer and one dinner among the three of us. We've sampled most of their line by the end of dinner.
The brewery is huge and was purpose built for the conduct of tours. Large walkways and a number of small sitting areas, one with a small bar, hover high above the brewery. With this evening's purchases it appears another suitcase and more bubble wrap is in order.
It's been a fun two days with Dennis,. He leaves us with a bottle of his homebrewed mead.
