    My family and I are going to Denver/CS. My plan is to load up on fresh local DIPAs in Denver. Looking for tips to buy cans and crowlers. Going to be near Washington Park but have a car. Also looking for good local food that is kid friendly. Cheers!

    There are tons of threads that should help answer your question if you search. A few relatively recent ones:

    -Read ~10 pages of the "Favorite Colorado IPAs" thread to see what we locals have been enjoying recently

    -One general "What to hit up in Denver" type thread
    https://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/denver-trip.558646/

    -This one talks specifically about beer + restaurants and includes discussion of "kid friendly" stops:

    Cerebral is the obvious answer, but it'll be varied as to what is available.
    Weldwerks is at some liquor stores like Mr. B's, Grapevine, Mile High.

    With perfect traffic you can get to Outer Range in a little over an hour from Denver.

    In CS (assuming you mean Colorado springs) check out Cerberus.

    There's a place on Pearl St. (Wash Park area) that sells crowlers only. Am I right, gang? Right across from Platt Park Brewery--and next to Park Burger!

    Comrade Brewing and Station 26 Brewery make great IPAs. Comrade does crowlers on site, Station 26 may, but they also distribute 6ers. Cannonball Creek Brewing also has a few good IPAs, not sure if they crowl* or not.

    That's correct! It's called Craft Alley and it's near Sushi Den. I haven't been in since they first opened so I can't speak towards the selection.

    I would throw out Homegrown Pizza for a family friendly place near wash park. A good pizza place with a pretty good beer list. Outdoor seating and pretty sure they have some games set up for the kids.

    Comrade Superpower and neighboring La Cumbre Elevated is the way to go if you like your IPA west coast style.
