Great season for a young up and coming team!! Denver Nuggets
by Broncoblogger on May.31, 2009, under Denver Sports
Our Denver Nuggets did us proud. They showed heart and grit playing agianst a seasoned team in the Lakers! Even though they seemed no match for the Lakers in the last two games, the Nuggets played hard and stayed with them each game. George Karl did a heck of a job preparing them for this series. I for one am proud to be a Nuggets Fan and will be for a long time.
The one thing that seemed to happen was the Nuggets concentrated too hard on Kobe Bryant and let the rest of the Lakers beat them. Also, I think that they tried too many 3 pointers so early and often that they looked desperate. The Lakers seemed to feel that and pushed the ball inside alot or if they doubled Kobe, he would get it to the open guy for a strong dunk or a uncontested three.
I do believe the Denver Nuggets have grown up and matured thru these Playoffs and will be a power to deal with in the 2010 season!!!!

Rockyard Brewery – Castle Rock Colorado – Micro Brewery
by BrewDude on May.20, 2009, under Brew Reviews, Micro Breweries
We live nice and close to Rockyard so it’s SWEET that I really love their brews! They offer their sampler flights at a great rate and it’s cold and fresh and……. well you need to come and check it out for yourself.
First the atmosphere there is kinda perfect, lots of big TV’s to watch no matter where you sit in the bar and you can seat yourself there. My wife likes to sit right in front of the big stone fireplace that separates the dining room from the bar area. There are also pool tables behind the biggest screen and that area ALSO has TV’s. The food there is great with a few notable must trys including the stuffed garlic knots and the jalapeno soup. They not only brew beer but also make homemade root beer and cream soda if you have kids along with you.
Note the Bronco Horse over the Bar!
Now for the local Colorado brews!
They have 6 brews all the time and then some other seasonals to choose from.
ROCKYARD BREWS ARE AVAILABLE IN A 16 OZ. GLASS FOR $4.00
5 ounce Sampler Glasses of our beers are $1.25 each.

Lodo’s in Lone Tree – Shared some brews.
by BrewDude on May.15, 2009, under Brew Reviews

Was at Lodo’s and wanted a brew that I have never tried before. I had an Alaskan Red Ale. It was an awesome brew, smooth and very flavorful! It was almost like a Fat Tire but I thought tasted better. The flavor profile was so smooth and rich that you could drink alot of them…but it was lunch time.

My wife had the Aguave Wheat from the Breckenridge Brewery. It was really good, first wheat beer I could drink without having a slice of orange or lemon. The flavor profile already had sweet agauve tones.
I would recomend either one of these beers to anyone!! Also, we had a great bartender, her name was Marin. She was the one that recommended these 2 brews, she was very knowledgable and she didn’t even drink beer! She asked everyone at the bar their names and then would check on you by name, that is what I call personal service!!
Go there, try the brews and while you are at it, say hi to Marin and look forward to a great visit!!!
Give me some feed back on your experience and what you would recommend as your drink of choice( I might give it a shot.)
My prediction: Nuggets in the NBA Finals!!!
by Broncoblogger on May.15, 2009, under Denver Sports
Wow! The Nuggets have played 2 Playoff Series and they won both 4 to 1! Wow, what an accomplishment! We here in Denver ought to be proud of this team! They work hard, play as a unit, no one tries to show boat and there is a different star evey game.
Next, it will be the Lakers or Rockets. Either way, it will be a heckof a series!! My vote is for the Rockets, I think we match up better and we can play well agianst them. I believe the Nuggets will win agian and play in the NBA Finals, probably with the Cav’s!
What is your opinion, who do you think will win the next series and go on to the Finals? Who will it be from the Eastern Conference? Respond back and let me know!
