Free Beer Tasting at Vinea this Saturday, February 23

If you've tried strong, hoppy microbrews or mass-produced beers and didn't like the taste, we hope you'll come see us this Saturday.

We're sampling beers from Belgium, Germany, and Colorado that pair well with great food, and dispel many of the traditional notions you may have about beer.

These are full and rich, with flavors and aromas that make them a nice choice instead of wine.

We'll be pouring Saturday from 2-5 next door at Corrieri's Formaggeria. See you Saturday.

Popperings Hommel - $9.99/750 ml
A light, sweet, fruity beer from Belgium.

Petrus Blonde - $15.99/4 pk
Another light ale from Belgium. Compare it to the Hommel and let us know what you think.

Petrus Dubbel Bruin - $15.99/4 pk
A dark ale with a subtle caramel flavor.

Petrus Gouden Tripel - $10.99/750 ml
Smooth, rich and golden. Perfect as an aperitif - or with desserts.

Ettaler Curator Doppelbock - $4.99/500 ml
A dark, complex German beer with figs, cherry, raisin and toffee flavors.

Fort Collins Double Chocolate Stout - $6.99/650 ml
Loads of chocolate, just as you'd expect. Not to be missed!

Cheekwood Botanical Gardens are Free for anyone 17

There's good news at Cheekwood: Saturdays are free for anyone 17 and under between now and Sept. 1. That means the young folks can explore the galleries and grounds for free and also enjoy the free Saturday A.M. art programs that are designed for 2- to 10-year-olds every Saturday between 10 a.m. and noon.



Regular admission to Cheekwood is $10, $5 for children 6-17 and free for the 6 and younger crowd. If you can't make it on a Saturday, the next best bet is the family cap of $30 where a family of four or five can get in for the $30 fixed price.

Cheekwood is at 1200 Forrest Park Drive. 356-8000 or www.cheekwood.org.
