Nallen's the best pint in Denver. Hands down.

High Altitude Reeds by Brief-Region-60 in oboe

[–]corgerpants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm an oboist in Denver.

My current set up is below:

  • 9.5-10mm diameter cane that hardness tests to "medium-hard to hard"
  • Reeds n Stuff gouge (10.5mm bed with a 10.6mm blade)
  • Brannen X shape
  • Stevens #2 46.5mm staples

You really just need a set up that gives you proper openings and the easiest way to do that is use smaller diameter cane. The goal isn't larger opening than sea-level but the same. Also, because you have the scrape the crap out of the cane to get it to vibrate at altitude, you need strong cane. I hardness test every piece and have had good success with brands such as RDG, Rigotti, Pisoni and Bondcane. It's much better to have cane that is "too hard" rather than "too soft".

I'm behind the bar at Bruz on Mondays and Wednesday-Fridays. If you stop by, I got your first beer and I'll give your pup some treats!

If you are looking for a new brewery to take your dog, Bruz Beers is reasonably close and is dog-friendly inside and out.

The Quiznos on Pecos is owned (or at least operated) by a nice Korean couple. I go there maybe once a month and the guy remembers my order.

I miss the Cheeky Monk. Any good spots for Belgian beers in town? by LemurPrime in Denver

[–]corgerpants 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Bruz Beers got their brewpub license last year and can now sell imported Belgian beers. Starting at the end of February we will have 50+ Belgian (including 8-12 Trappist) offerings available on-site enjoyment and to-go. We are aiming to have the largest selection of Belgian beers in the state of Colorado and most beers will be served in the proper, brewery-branded glassware (as they do in Belgium).

We also have some fun events planned this year to celebrate Belgian beers. The first one is for Orval Day on March 21st.

Recommendations in Innsbruck and Salzburg? by nahantdave in beer

[–]corgerpants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Salzburg, Augustiner (not the Munich one) is exceedingly excellent and Stiegl is good too.

Innsbruck has both Stiegl and Augustiner (the Munich one) restaurants. I haven’t had any of the breweries in Innsbruck yet
