Rickoli’s Brewery Grand Opening 112812

What a great new nanobrewery, and it’s so close in Wheat Ridge! I think it’s going to be my new favorite beer hangout! I got in touch with Rick, and knew how much this town was rooting for him as he strikes out on his own. He was happy to show me around the works a couple weeks before the opening, and I just love the gas-fired 3-tiered keggle operation, and the 100 gal. MiniBrew
