If you?re the kind of viewer who craves a cocktail when Don Draper reaches for the whiskey, you just might want to have a six pack handy for Rocky Mountain PBS?s latest Colorado feature.
?Colorado Brews? aims to explore the beer industry in Colorado by visiting breweries throughout the state. If the pilot airing at 9:30 p.m. Saturday is well-received, the plan is for a full season this fall with 13 episodes to tell the stories of Colorado?s craft breweries.
Segments will cover food and beer pairing, home brewing, beer festivals and beer technology. The supporting cast includes a chef, David Davis of the Golden Hotel, and a handful of industry bloggers, such as HomeBrew Academy?s Billy Broas and Colorado Beer Girl?s Leah Arthur.
?A lot of people already know Colorado is a great beer state, but what this can say is why,? said the show?s host Ed Sealover, a Denver Business Journal reporter and author of ?Mountain Brew: A Guide to Colorado?s Breweries.?
In the pilot, Sealover visits Crabtree Brewing in Greeley. Here?s an extended preview:
And if you?re thirsty for some beer-story before Saturday night, revisit this story about ?Colorado Brews? first featured brewery, back from when Crabtree Brewing created a beer to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Dearfield, an all-African-American farming community founded in Weld County in 1910.
Series executive producer Charles Nuckolls and Jeff Crabtree met at the commemoration of that anniversary, which Nuckolls attended for another project of his, a two-hour documentary about Dearfield.
?We really concentrate on a Colorado brewer that I think Jeff exemplifies so many things that are wonderful about craft brewers in Colorado,? Nuckolls said.
If the show does well, Nuckolls said the first season will be full of stories about all Colorado breweries, big and small.
?The first full season of the show will be representative geographically of breweries across the state and vertically, meaning stories from someone like a Breckenridge all the way down to TRVE Brewing opened on South Broadway by one guy who went for it,? he said.
