TAKE NOTE

N

ational Preparedness Month, recognized each September, provides an opportunity to remind us that we all must prepare ourselves and our families now and throughout the year. This year’s observation will focus on planning, with an over-arching theme: Disasters Happen. Prepare Now. Learn How. Take time to learn lifesaving skills—such as CPR and first aid, check your insurance policies and coverage for the hazards you may face, such as flood, earthquakes, and tornados. Make sure to consider the costs associated with disasters and save for an emergency. Also, know how to take practical safety steps like shutting off water and gas.

The devastating wildfires throughout the West this year reminded the nation of the importance of preparing for disasters. Often, we will be the first ones in our communities to take action after a disaster strikes and before first responders arrive, so it is important to prepare in advance to help yourself and your community.

Different types of disasters and emergencies happen in communities across the country, but there are key steps that every household can take to be better prepared for them. If you do nothing else this month, take time to create a disaster plan including a home fire escape plan. Your ability to get out of your home during a fire depends on advance warning from smoke alarms and advance planning.

Fire can spread rapidly through your home, leaving you as little as one or two minutes to escape safely once the smoke alarm sounds. A closed door may slow the spread of smoke, heat and fire. Install smoke alarms in every sleeping room and outside each separate sleeping area. Install alarms on every level of the home.

Pull together everyone in your household and make a plan. Walk through your home and inspect all possible exits and escape routes. Households with children should consider drawing a floor plan of your home, marking two ways out of each room, including windows and doors.

Learn how to prepare for emergencies at ready.gov, redcross.org and nfpa.org.

Area’s craft brewers offer wide-range of beer types, styles for all tastes

DOSTAL ALLEY BREWING Brewing since 1997 116 Main Street, Central City 303-582-1610 • dostalalley.com 14

raft beer is big in Colorado, and its popularity continues to build each year. While the industry’s overall growth has slowed after many years of double-digit expansion, and new trends have impacted breweries of all sizes, the state remains at the forefront of the craft brewing industry. It is among the top for number of breweries—there are now almost 350—as well as per capita production and local economic impact.

Since small breweries can be found just about everywhere in Colorado, it’s no surprise craft beer culture is big in the Clear Creek County area, too. Residents, skiers and Interstate 70 drivers have been stopping off to have local brews at Tommyknocker Brewery in Idaho Springs since 1994. Its brewery and restaurant continues to be one of the county’s more popular attractions. Local beer lovers have also been heading to nearby Central City since 1997 to taste the small-batch brews at Dostal Alley Brewpub.

For many years, those two breweries were the only options in the area between Breckenridge and Golden, but over the past three years, a new wave of brewers discovered the area—along with its outstanding water—and have opened breweries.

Westbound & Down Brewery in Idaho Springs opened in the remodeled Buffalo Restaurant space in 2015 about the same time the El Rancho Restaurant was reopened as a brew pub. Close by in Evergreen, Lariat Lodge Brewing and Evergreen Brewery also began brewing in 2015. Georgetown saw its first brewery open just last year when Guanella Pass Brewery began making its brews. Eight more breweries are located in Summit County while Golden and the western metro area offer numerous more options.

Soon, there will be even more local breweries to visit. Cabin Creek Brewery is planning to open in Georgetown’s new Bighorn Crossing development and Stein Brewing Company, which owns and operates J. Wells Brewing in Boulder, is opening a second location in Empire at the Original Hard Rock Café.

Each brewery has its own unique atmosphere and styles of beer, but the brewers agree their beer is fun and accessible to a widerange of tastes. “[Our] brewing philosophy at Dostal Alley is to have fun while brewing drinkable beer styles,” Dave Thomas said.

El Rancho Brewer and Co-owner Paul Vincent agrees. “I think

our goal is to have beer that’s exceptional and to have fun with it and not do things that are too middle of the road,” he said.

Tommyknocker Brewery has long held a similar ideal. “My goal, and I think we achieve it pretty well, is that we brew drinkable versions of the category. We’ve never been a brewery that brews the top end to get noticed for being radical. Most of our beers are approachable and drinkable,” Director of Operations Steve Indrehus said. “Even our novelty beers like the Chili Lager is a drinkable version of the category. It’s not burn-your-mouth hot, its the kind of beer you can buy a six-pack of and enjoy…

Our Blood Orange is an IPA, but it’s the kind of IPA where people who don’t like IPAs say, ‘I like that IPA.’ I want people to enjoy the beer, not just taste one sip and be blown away.”

Stein Brewing Company, which focuses on small-batch German ales and a few American varieties, wants its patrons to be able to find something they like. “We brew for you, where anyone from the craft beer enthusiast to a novice experiencing craft beer for the first time can enjoy a small batch specialty experience each and every time,” Stein Brewing President John W. Stein said.

Unlike other businesses that might resist competition, new growth within the craft brewing industry is welcome. Another brewery opening is seen as a good thing and only helps the area continue to develop a reputation for good beer. “My philosophy is that if there were four other breweries across the street, I’d be a happy camper,” Vincent said. “I think the more the merrier.”

Although most local breweries are known for their flagship products, experimentation, which is often easier and less expensive on smaller brewing systems, is also important to many local brewers. “Part of the experience of craft breweries is experimenting with new, exciting varieties of blends to create an artistic brew,” Stein said. “We take this independence to heart. Our small batch creations sell out quickly. Fellow craft beer lovers inquire when the new releases are out so that they can get in before it’s gone. The excitement and feedback are contagious.”

The brewers at Dostal Alley also enjoy trying new things.

“Many of our local brewery friends tell us that they are jealous of our ability to tinker and have spontaneous fun with our brew-

or the 37th consecutive year, beer lovers will gather in Denver, Sept. 20-22, at the Great American Beer Festival the country’s preeminent beer festival and competition.

This year’s sold out GABF offers samples of over 4,000 beers from more than 800 breweries in an expanded festival hall.

Dostal Alley Brewing, El Rancho Brewing, Guanella Pass, Stein Brewing, Tommyknocker Brewery and Westbound & Down Brewing Company are taking their beers to the event to compete for its coveted medals and spread the word about what they do.

“You get the chance, when you go there, to sample a lot of stuff you would never get to sample, and you get exposed to ideas,” El Rancho’s Paul Vincent said.

The event also helps brewers see what is happening in other regions of the country and the world, according to Stein Brewing Company President John W. Stein. “GABF is a great place to showcase our beers since it is the ‘Super Bowl’ of beer competitions,” he said.

ing materials and processes,’ Brewer Dave Thomas said. “For example, when local citizens bring us freshly picked and dried wild hops from their property we often will throw them in the beer that we are brewing that day. You can’t do that in a larger production-schedule and standard-focused brewery.”

No matter what your thoughts are about craft beer, there are now more types and styles than ever being brewed locally, so get out and explore. Even those who have enjoyed our region’s craft brews for years will enjoy the many new additions and changes that have come to the area in recent years.

the pups think so, too.”

Beyond the satisfaction of creating a successful home-based business with a quality, environmentally-friendly product, Rajski’s dog treats are also a way for her family to bond. The entire family, who moved to Lawson when her husband, Nate, accepted a job at Tommyknocker Brewery, now has ties to the brewery.

“We love the mountains, the area, the small town, and the people… Having a family working together, we are constantly talking beer; even our three-year-old son gets excited for brew days, visiting the office, and now making treats with brewing ‘waste.’ We also have a lively nine-year-old Malamute dog that enjoys being the professional tester.”

When their son Forrest isn’t in preschool, he helps mix, roll, cut and package the treats. “He is truly all hands in for this business,” Rajski explained. “It’s great to see the spark of entrepreneurship in the eyes of a child and ingrain the small-business mentality at a young age.”

Rajski said the business had a good first summer selling treats and pup “ice cream” at local events. “We didn’t want to push too much, or too fast. Raising a family and working full time… it’s been a fun, little, small business,” she said.

The company’s Peanut Butter and Pumpkin Peanut Butter treats are now available at various dog-friendly events as well as at Dancing Dog and Tommyknocker Brewery in Idaho Springs. There are also plans to work with additional breweries to create treats made from their spent grain to sell in their tap rooms.

By Jeffrey V. Smith LAWSON eth Rajski brings together a love of family, beer, dogs and the environment with hand-made dog treats. The founder of FaR Mtn Dog Beerscuits uses “spent” grain from Tommyknocker Brewery, where she and her husband work full time, and other “simple ingredients dogs love,” including peanut butter, eggs and pumpkin. The treats, which she began making earlier this summer, already have a loyal following and can be found at special events, local stores or ordered online.

“There is so much grain used in the brewing process that, as a family, we wanted to help eliminate some waste and create some treats for our furry four-legged family and friends,” Rajski said. She also explained it is a good source of protein and fiber.

Reactions to the treats have been positive from both dogs and their humans. “People seem to really love the treats for their dogs, and any dogs that visit us at an event walk away with wagging tails,” Rajski said. “We have some happy returning customers who say their dogs only like the Beerscuits, and we try to keep those good pups stocked on treats.”

According to Rajski, some owners, including herself, prefer a grain-free diet for their pet.

She says the Beerscuits may have grain, but are meant to be special treats, not unlike a human having ice cream. “You don’t eat it all the time [or] as a meal, but when you are good, worked a hard day or just need a pick me up, a treat is great,” she explained. “We think the same for the dogs. A treat made with simple whole ingredients, and a little help in nutrition, is good, and
