Beer Release: Crimson Slash // Strong Ale

Thursday November 12th

We brewed Crimson Slash, a 6.7% strong ale built for cold weather and a proper pint alongside the team at Elevation Beer Co. in Salida. We drank beer, fished, and had a delicious Nashville hot chicken sandwich that almost took Dave out. We’ll tap the cask-conditioned release at Hogshead on Thursday, November 12 at 6 PM and raise funds for Running Rivers, a Colorado-based non-profit with a mission to conserve and restore native fish ecosystems by educating and inspiring a diverse community of outdoor folks. 

CRIMSON SLASH Cask-Conditioned Strong Ale November 12 • 6 PM Hogshead Pub & Brewery

Vietnom.nom Chicken Pop-Up

Monday November 16th

Folks, we are excited for this one. Our buddy Mai is bringing his Vietnamese Fried Chicken to Hogshead for a Monday night pop-up. He brought some samples over recently and the Hogshead team was floored. Come out and show him some love and maybe he’ll come back 😉

Beer Release: Barges // English Mild

Thursday November 19th

BEER RELEASE: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19th • 5pm

🍻Barges is BACK! Folks, every day we get another request for this beer. We listened. We brewed it. It’s conditioning. Hold your dang horses. ———- Barges has long been a part of our fall and winter programming. It’s an English Mild built on Maris Otter, layered with caramel, toasted bread, and quiet dark chocolate notes. It’s deep brown, malty, and built for a season when it’s snowing, so you better have another pint.

Denver Spanish Conversation Meetup

Wednesday November 25th

Tonight! We're hosting the Denver Spanish Conversation Meetup. This is a relaxed chance to practice Spanish, meet new people, and spend time at a beautiful taproom. Don't worry about perfect grammar or a polished accent. Come ready to listen, speak, learn, and help create an easygoing conversation for people at different levels. Hogshead has room inside and on the patios for groups to settle in without feeling rushed. If you have been looking for a reason to practice more often, this is a good place to begin. Check the event calendar for the latest timing and meetup details before you head over. ​
