<p>emerald, I think it’s called Pike Place Brewery. Great beer, love their amber.</p>
<p>I know Elysian brewery is very popular, my D likes Reubens. I cant believe how many microbreweries there are.
If you have ever poked your head into Kings Hardware, you might recognize these folks.

<p>Ack! Sorry.</p>
<p>For Denver you could grill bison burgers. My Costco sells ground buffalo. We really like it. Ranch style food like beans maybe? </p>
<p>Personally, I’m thinking of making Jambalaya in honor of the Saints, who fired the wrong kicker and helped Seattle to advance. Plus it’s an easy make-ahead and serve-yourself like stew or chili. </p>
<p>Oh my, when I typed “like” I found the emoticon menu dropping down. Wow.</p>
<p>I’m thinking I’d like a matchup between any of our delicious Seattle micro brews, and Denver’s Coors Light.</p>
<p>It would be a slaughter, just like the game (I hope)!</p>
<p>Coors :)) </p>
<p>Always thought it was hard to tell the difference between Coors and toilet water. Though, that does imply that I know what toilet water tastes like. 
</p>
<p>Emerald - the incident I described just happened last week in Lacey (near Olympia). </p>
<p>You could always suggest that people wear clothing in the style of Seattle or Denver. But…I doubt you’d be able to tell the difference. They’d all be wearing athletic clothes (possibly stained or with dog hair on them), and no makeup.</p>
<p>Saddling Denver to Coors is little unfair to Denver on the beer front. Colorado’s got some good craft brewers. Fat Tire from New Belgium Brewing in Fort Collins is popular and widely available, and is brewed at the first wind-powered brewery in the U.S. Sawtooth Ale from Left Hand Brewing in Longmont is also quite good, and there are many others. Both Denver and Seattle are beer towns and good craft beers from each are a must, IMO. Washington State also produces some decent wines and has a growing hard cider industry. Colorado has some good small-batch distillers; try Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey. </p>
<p>I’m going with Denver omelets and Denver-style “smothered” burritos (smothered in a green chili sauce) for brunch, and wild-caught salmon for dinner, probably just with a Pikes Place Market rub I picked up at Whole Foods. The wild-caught salmon we get here is almost entirely from Alaska, but I think that’s mostly what they eat in Seattle these days, too.</p>
<p>Another thought. One of the tastiest meals I ever had in Denver was a slow-cooked bison pot roast.</p>
