    I certainly can coordinate another one. Strange and Renegade are easy options near downtown. I'm always a massive Copper Kettle fan, plus it's close to Bull & Bush for some follow up food.
    There's even just Dry Dock if people haven't been lately. They have tons of space and plenty of new items.

    While we might not know exactly when it will be open - I don't think it'll be hard to round people up for the opening at Prost.

    Saturdays and Sundays are always best for me. How does the 26th sound?

    I'd be up for joining the group out if you're looking for fellow drinkers.

    I think those rent/ride-a-bike things was just installed in front of Renegade, too.

    I'd be game for the 26th or the 19th would also be cool because of the end of Craft Beer week.

    As another possibility, Caution Brewing's tap room will be opening on May 18th around I70 and Peoria.

    I haven't had a ton from them, but the Lao Wang Lager's pretty unique (it's made with Asian spices) and the Matrimony Brown is good.

    I like Renegade a lot. That would be a good spot, especially with Wit's end and Strange so close.

    Renegade is a good bet since they have so much room. Their Elevation IPA is absolutely top notch, and their normal everyday beers have really grown on me, too. A bonus is that the Quiero Arepas food truck is there every Friday evening, too. They serve South American fried cornbread sandwiches.
    Anyone have a preference of the 18th vs. the 25th? I'm still intrigued by the Caution opening on the 18th since it's so close to me.
    On the south end of town (I know there are plenty of us down here) - I'm always cool with hitting up Lone Tree or maybe even the Rockyard. They've been doing some really good things lately.

    Yeah, the Odell Tap Takeover is on Saturday, May 19th. I hit the Avery Tap Takeover last month and it was pretty solid. They brought some nice stuff including Meph Addict, Eremita III, Uncle Jacob's Stout, Boulder Weiss and more.

    Really looking forward to seeing what Odell brings down for the event. The owner of Parry's Pizza even went up to Odell's two weeks ago and brewed a pale ale just for the event.

    I'll toss out something unofficial if anyone's interested. I'm probably going to swing by Wit's End tomorrow afternoon (Saturday) for a couple pints and a growler fill.
    I'm thinking probably around 2:00'ish.

    I was thinking about headin that way. Looks like he's got a new brew out. Coffee stout. Could be good for this weather.

    Yup, I didn't find out about the stout until yesterday, but it should be a good one if his porter is any kind of clue.
    I'm heading over 'round 2:00 or 2:30, although who knows what traffic will be like with all of the mess around Santa Fe and I25. I'm 1/2 tempted to drive in from the I70 side to avoid it.

    I'll resurrect this thread just in case anyone else might be heading over to Caution tonight.
    Here's where they are: http://www.cautionbrewingco.com/findus.html

    Not sure exactly what time I'm heading over, but probably around 5:30 PM.
