I will be in Boulder on Saturday and will be with a group of people (alums of OU/UT/Texas Tech). We all have games at 10AM. Is there any decent sports bar in Boulder with a good tap list? We are in town for GABF and doing some brewery tours after - we mainly want something to start the day off right with good beer.
Twisted Pine Brewery had all of the NFL games on Sunday during GABF last year. I would imagine they have the college games as well. They have a really nice setup, not to mention awesome pepper beers. Ghost face killa!
I'll be in Denver that morning before GABF, same Q for Denver but also curious if all bars will be open at 10 AM for those games or if it will be hit or miss that early
I am assuming you are a Tech alum? If so, they have a alumni association watch party at a place called Govnr's Park (http://www.govnrspark.com/). I have been to the alumni association watch party in Denver before and they usually have a good turnout for it.
There's tons of awesome places to watch games in Boulder but I don't know of any that open at 10am. Your best bet is probably somewhere on the hill, near the university. I know Twisted Pine doesn't open that early and I doubt West End does. Lazy Dog perhaps but their tap list is far from great, especially for Boulder.
Backcountry Pizza has arguably Boulder's best tap list - was in today and they have 50+ great taps including a ton of amazing sours. They've got 3-5 tvs through the bar too so games should be easy to come by....
I actually think that it is Saturday just later that day they are doing it (at least it was last week when I looked at their website). Since I am coming from Austin, I doubt i will need to stay around for it since I seem to be able to have there beer at any time.
I made a trip to Denver area last year when UT played NC State. Backcountry Pizza management was super helpful and even cheered our team on with us. Then we spent a buttload of money on their awesome bottle list.
