Colorado Springs is lucky to have their very own version of the triangle where things go in but don't always come out. Unlike that watery zone of puzzling paranormal shenanigans, ours - referred to as Beermuda Triangle - is full of beery goodness. Tonight, two of the three anchors that make up this trifecta of hoppy happenings is holding intriguing beer related events.
First, The Blue Star restaurant (1645 S. Tejon Street) is having a dual dinner pairing at 6:30pm.

If sixty five bones is a bit steep, stop on by Bristol Brewing Company (right next door to Blue Star) from 5:00pm to 9:00pm for the release of this year's version of the Cheyenne Canon Pinon Nut Brown Ale. Their brewers roast tons of pinon nuts to create this smooth brown ale. All of the proceeds from this beer benefit the Friends of Cheyenne Canon.
