On the Calendar: Denver/Boulder, February 2020

When the winter gets long, Denverites drink good beer. On the calendar this month, you?ll find no shortage of beer festivals?some with music and one with grilled cheese. (There?s also a tequila festival.) If alcohol isn?t your solution to February, there?s plenty here for you too. Check out some great films, plan your next vacation, or get inspired to start a garden. End the month with a date for a date for Restaurant Week, which starts Feb. 21.
