    Based on their Facebook, it sounds like Local Relic is now only doing business via events and bottle releases only rather than having normal operating hours. They have an event schedule on their FB page, so that seems like the best place to learn more. I'd never even heard of them until a few months ago, but their space looks killer.

    I was looking at this thread for my Denver trip this weekend and didn’t see anything mentioned about this brewery. While it’s on the outskirts of Denver by the airport I wanted to give a shout out to Danico.

    I just landed and I had an hour to kill waiting for my buddy to land so got the rental car and stopped at danico brewery 10 minutes away.

    man this place is a gem! Good variety of styles and everything I had was solid. Really good Munich dunkel and surprising tasty pistachio cream ale! Also enjoyed their WC and Hazy IPAs.

    Danico got a new brewer there. Lots of experience, not to say the dude before didn't.

    The brewer at Danico posts here sometimes. He knows a thing or two...

    To Central Park? The bazillion families that live there would beg to differ.

    He's probably referring to that one apartment complex with all the Venezuelan drama kinda near the Stanley. Unless you plan on hanging out and flashing gang signs in our lovely low-rent housing complexes, you aren't gonna have any issues. If anything, that area's probably safer than LoDo at this point.

    This was great advice! I hit these three last weekend when in Denver for a work conference and all three were excellent!

    Seeing 9 beer engines' worth of cask beer options at Hogshead was amazing! Had the Bitter, Best Bitter, and the Porter

    All three Bierstadt lagers (Slow pour Pils, Helles, Dunkel) were top notch, and the currywurst was tasty too

    I wish I had more time to spend at Cohesion. Stopped in during a bike ride around town, and had pours of the Cohesion 12° and the Tmave 14°
