Nearly three months after the National Science Foundation was supposed to announce who had won the thirteen-year, $2 billon Antarctic Support Contract, the federal agency has acknowledged to bidders that the award will be delayed by at least a year. Centennial-based Raytheon Polar Services currently holds the contract, which it…
Timothy Barajas, the cagey graffiti writer known as KOZE, was sentenced Tuesday to two years of probation and 180 days in jail, half of which will be suspended as long as Barajas doesn’t commit any new crimes. He was also ordered to pay $1,360.66 in restitution. The sentence was much…
There were a lot of new iPhones opened on Christmas Day, and that was a big present for the Colorado Department of Transportation, which created its own iPhone application in November to help people measure whether they are too drunk to drive…
Get ready, get set, insert foot in mouth. Here are some of the quotes that made us laugh, cry or just scratch our head in disbelief. “Riots in Denver at the Democrat Convention would see to it we don’t elect Democrats. And that’s the best damn thing (that) could happen…
You may not remember Brian Bonsall, and that’s okay, because the former child actor doesn’t remember much either, at least when it comes to the night of December 5, when Boulder police say he hit his best friend repeatedly in the face with a broken stool. On Monday, Bonsall, who…
It’s still mathematically possible for the Broncos to make the playoffs (if a whole bunch of other teams lose and Broncos win), but it ain’t likely. And frankly, even if they do make it, do we really want to see them blown out by the Patriots or the Bengals? While…

The City of Denver unveiled its new website this week, a Christmas present to the denizens of this fine town, and it certainly is snazzy. New features include an online service center; free Google language translation; improved integration with social media; improved e-mail and subscription updates and many other features…
We’re still shell-shocked by yesterday’s Broncos game against the Raiders, but not because the Broncos lost. No, we’re dealing with the PTSD from seeing Raiders player Tommy Kelly’s color-coordinated job strap (above). I’m guessing the shock may have had something to do with why the Orange and Blue lost as…
The Tommyknocker Brewery’s Cocoa Porter isn’t a particularly sophisticated beer, not a particularly powerful stout, but it is delicious nonetheless, almost like chocolate milk or hot chocolate. In fact, the beer is brewed with cocoa powder, which is quite apparent, and with honey, which is more subtle. Although the cocoa…
Full Sail’s Wreck the Halls is certainly hoppy, and it’s crisp and tastes good. In fact, it’s like many other American IPAs, if just a touch more malty. But frankly, it shouldn’t take the holidays to produce a beer comparable to what many, many other breweries put out year round…

If you’ve ever slung latkes — from the grated potatoes and onions to the hot oil — you know how labor-intensive it would be to cook 150 of them. But if you’ve ever eaten a plate full of these mouth-watering potato pancakes, you also know how quickly they disappear. A…
Elysian Bifrost Winter Ale pours a golden color, with a head that is as thick, fluffy and bouncy as a cozy homemade blanket – or a foot-high bank of Christmas snow. The bubbles go deep and rise slowly, like a Guinness, and the frothy top is so thick, it can…
Frambozen is a classic Colorado holiday beer, one that has a fan club across the country and everyone who lives here should try at least once. A brown ale that pours a deep red/brown color, Frambozen is deliciously flavored with juicy raspberries that make it seem like it should be…
Chanukah started on Friday, and the occasion called for a special brew, something that would go well with potato latkes and gelt. The answer was Jewbelation, the massive holiday beer from New York’s Shmaltz Brewing Company (makers of HE’BREW, the chosen beer). The gimmicky brand marketing for Shmaltz — its…
Euphoria – This hop-happy beer in a can is a crowd pleaser, with its bitterly delicious dollop of hops delivered cold and crisp from aluminum rather than glass. Similar to the Celebration Ale in style, this beer more closely resembles a American style IPA along the lines of Dale’s Pale…

When I first tried this beer last year, on the recommendation of a liquor-store employee, I thought I’d gotten a bottle from a batch that had been contaminated. Although it smelled like pine trees, it tasted like, well, the mold that grows on a plastic container full of spaghetti that’s…
The BCS Championship game is set for January 7 between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Texas Longhorns, but it’s never too early to get your party plans in order and identify the bars that will provide a friendly haven for your cheering pleasure. Here’s a rundown of where to…
The Bruery in Orange County, California, has become one of the most recognized up-and-coming craft breweries in the country in only a couple of years, in part because of its enormous, extreme and experimental beers. And 2 Turtle Doves is no exception. Part two in The Bruery’s 12 Beers of…
