Good beer is essential to many Coloradoans. Fortunately, we are lucky enough to have an abundance of brewers practicing their craft locally for us to enjoy. Spending an afternoon in a tap room is about meeting up with friends, being a part of the community, and of course, enjoying well-made craft beer.

MARCH 26 THE TROJAN WAR: OUR WARRIOR CHORUS
MARCH 24 – APRIL 09 CHINGLISH Miscommunication leads to crossed signals and culture clashes in this whip-smart comedy from David Henry Hwang, the Tony and Obie Award-winning writer of M. Butterfly. Hwang’s Chinglish is the snafu-filled story of a naïve American businessman who’s trying to conduct an important deal in China. He quickly learns just how much he doesn’t comprehend: His translators are unreliable, his consultant may be a fraud, and he’s captivated by Xu, a beautiful, seemingly supportive government official in this regional premiere of Hwang’s “deliriously funny” (Los Angeles Times) comedy about mistranslations and stranger-in-astrange-land manners mishaps. Show times vary at Aurora Fox Theatre, 9900 E. Colfax Ave., Aurora. Visit www.AuroraFoxArtsCenter.org to purchase tickets.

Must-Visit Nearby
By Kristen Kuchar
Good beer is essential to many Coloradoans. Fortunately, we are lucky enough to have an abundance of brewers practicing their craft locally for us to enjoy. Spending an afternoon in a tap room is about meeting up with friends, being a part of the community, and of course, enjoying well-made craft beer. Even if your new to the beer scene, there is no better place to learn the ropes than in a brewery.
(Note: the designated driver rule and services like Uber and Lyft make such excursions safer and more convenient too.)
16
SpotlightÂŽ Magazine | Winter 2017
Here are six must-visit breweries nearby:
1
Living The Dream Brewing Company
This pet-friendly Littleton brewery serves a variety of finely made craft beers, including many that are gluten-reduced. They’ve got 14 taps of versatile styles that make it a sure thing everyone can find something they’ll enjoy. The No Filter Wheat is a tasty, fruity wheatbased Belgian ale, and the Boom Gose The Dynamite is a Germanstyle gose with Hawaiian sea salt, coriander, and blood orange that’s crisp and tart. A variety of food trucks, including R & D Food Truck and Burgerchief, are readily on hand to satisfy your cravings. 12305 Dumont Way, Unit A • Littleton 303-284-9585 www.livingthedreambrewing.com
4 Dad and Dudes Breweria
Dad and Dude’s takes the dynamic duo of pizza and beer up a notch. You won’t find your typical pizza here with options including Pineapple Express, a Cajun-inspired Bourbon St, spicy Fahrenheit 451, and the Tree Huger, a garlic olive oil base with spinach, artichoke hearts, red onion, and sundried tomatoes. There’s also calzones, sandwiches, pastas, and appetizers as well. Enjoy the Pineapple Express Honey Blonde Ale or their Something Light Cream Ale. Take advantage of $2 slices and $2 off pints on Tuesdays. If you’re a fan of barrel-aged beers, Wednesday is your night to stop by since they’ll be tapping a wood- or barrel-aged beer. 6730 S. Cornerstar Way, Suite D • Aurora 303-400-5699 www.breweria.com
2 Resolute Brewing Company 5
Grist Brewing Company
Right up there with brewing great beer, Resolute’s goal is to give back to the community. They plan to partner with local nonprofits to assist in raising money and partner with Centennial neighborhood groups to sponsor community events. So drinking a Colorado Roots Blonde or a Belgian Golden Strong is actually doing more than just quenching your thirst for well-made beer. For something unique, try their lavender-infused saison or a special limited release vanilla chai brown, with hints of hazelnut, dark chocolate, and fresh vanilla beans.
“Science balanced with creativity” is how Grist describes their eclectic beer list. The Window Tour Hefeweizen is a refreshing, balanced beer. For something more intense, the T-90 Russian Imperial Stout is aged in bourbon barrels for 11 months and has notes of chocolate, vanilla, and oak from the barrel. You’ll find rotating food trucks, including Tony Guacamole, Wheels on Fire, and Rolling Italian. With the 120 inch HD projector TV, it’s a fantastic fit for cheering on the Broncos while sipping their tremendous brews.

6 Lone Tree Brewing
Elk Mountain Brewing
There’s a variety of beer styles to choose from at Elk Mountain, but head brewer Tom Bell’s expertise is with German beers with a twist. Try the Wild Wapiti Wheat, an unfiltered German wheat with robust flavors of clove, banana, and citrus. They offer brewery tours, popcorn (along with local delivery menus), and have trivia every Monday night with a chance to win prizes. They’re also making homemade root beer and orange soda served on tap for designated drivers and non-drinkers. 18921 Plaza Drive, Unit 104 • Parker 303-805-2739 www.elkmountainbrewing.com
Lone Tree Brewing is a family-friendly spot with award-winning beers. Their Lone Tree Mexican Lager won silver for Great American Beer Festival in 2015, and the refreshing Lone Tree Peach Pale Ale won silver at the Colorado State Fair, among other winners. Aside from the beer, the best part about Lone Tree is their dedication to contributing to worthy charities. Each month, a new charity is selected, and a portion of all tasting room sales are given to them. This past year, charities included Big Dogs Huge Paws rescue, Children’s Organ Transplant Association, and Drink for Pink. 8200 Park Meadows Drive, Suite 8222 • Lone Tree 303-792-5822 www.lonetreebrewingco.com

Beginning
Skiing Tips for New Colorado Skiers By Sara Baker, MS, CSCS
Colorado is definitely the quintessential place for world class skiing but getting started can be overwhelming if you are a new skier or taking the entire family. With so many resorts to choose from, where do you start? How can you head up the mountain for a great day on the slopes without breaking the bank?
T
hough all the resorts offer incredible skiing, some are better suited for beginners. Winter Park is a great resort for beginners. Winter Park has nearly 30 percent of their terrain as beginner trails. At the base, there are gentle slopes to learn on and then beginners can progress to short chair lifts as they become more comfortable. They then can ride almost to the top and still enjoy greens all they way back to the village. Breckenridge is another great place for beginners. Breckenridge’s Peak 9 is an entire lower mountain dedicated to beginners including a teaching terrain. The runs are long and wide, allowing room for skiers to learn at their own pace. Larger resorts often offer more amenities but there are many pros of going to a smaller resort. Lift tickets and ski schools can be half the price of costs at larger resorts. Another advantage includes smaller crowds. Granby Ranch is just 80 miles west of Denver and is a family-owned resort perfect for kids learning to ski. Parking is close to the lifts and the best part is that all trails begin at one point up top and end at the base, allowing everyone to ski at their own pace without getting lost. Eldora is another great smaller resort to visit without having to fight the I-70 west traffic. Eldora is 680 acres with 11-lifts but there is an entire section for beginners. This a great option if you feel like skiing but want to stay a bit more local. Taking an entire family skiing can get very expensive very fast. However, there are plenty of tips and tricks that can help save you money. If you know where and when you are going, www.liftopia. com allows you to buy in advance for a steep discount. Some ski stores, as well as King Soopers and Costco, sell discounted lift tickets. If you can wait until January to hit the slopes, visit www.skiandsnowboardmonth.org for deals on beginner packages that include lift tickets, lessons, and rentals. Other deals can be found by purchasing gas at Shell Stations in January, in the Entertainment Coupon book, and

Spotlight® Magazine | Winter 2017
buying multiple day packs after season passes are no longer sold. Vail Resorts’ participating Epic Pass resorts offer four or five days of free skiing to kindergarten through fifth grade students. If you are lucky enough to have a fifth grader, Colorado Ski Country USA's 5th grade Passport Program provides participants with three free days of skiing or snowboarding at each of their 20 member resorts. If your fifth grader has never skied before, Colorado Ski Country USA’s First Class Program offers 5th graders the chance to receive one full-day beginner, level one group lesson, and an equipment rental package for absolutely free! After deciding where to ski and securing your lift ticket, finding good reasonably priced equipment is the last piece. If you can rent before you head up to the mountains you can get rentals for as cheap as $16-$30 a day. The downside of renting local is if you end up having an issue with your equipment once you are up in the mountains it is a challenge to remedy. Checking online is another way to save some money. You can save 20-25% if you reserve your equipment online. One of the best ways to save money if you are planning on skiing at least a few times during the season is to consider season long rentals for both the kids and adults. If your kids hit a growth spurt mid-season or need an upgrade in equipment, many ski shops will let you swap gear for something that will work.
Colorado is known for its amazing skiing but often comes with a hefty price. With a little bit of research and knowing a few tips you can take the entire family skiing without breaking the bank.
