Places To Go On Opening Day: RiNo Edition

The Block Distilling Co. is debuting a shockingly purple cocktail (photos attached) to help ring in Opening Day in downtown Denver. You’re Killing Me Smalls is a refreshing lemonade-based cocktail featuring, pear eau de vie, vodka, and blackberry accompanied with a cracker jack garnish to help gameday fans properly pre-game before heading to the ballpark. This Denver born-and-raised distillery crafts every last drop of their spirits and cocktails in-house with an emphasis on local ingredients and environmentally-friendly practices, creating a uniquely Colorado flavor. The Block’s tasting room features indoor and outdoor patio seating plus stunning murals and artwork; between the space, You’re Kililng Me Smalls, and your Rockies jersey, The Block will be Opening Day Instagram perfection. The Block Distilling Co., 2990 Larimer St. 0.9 miles from Coors Field.

Our Mutual Friend Brewing claims to specialize in saisons, but makes incredible beers of all styles. Ancient Palms (a West Coast Pilsner) and actually, the brewery will be releasing Murasaki Graviolia, a purple-hued sour brewed with soursop and Butterly pea flower on Saturday, April 8.. Our Mutual Friend Brewing, 2810 Larimer St. 0.7 miles from Coors Field.

The new, expanded Stem Ciders Taproom is now even better for getting together. Please all palates with their selection of ciders, cocktails, cider cocktails, beer, and wine, plus a full culinary menu to keep you fueled through any extra innings. The recently released seasonal Tangerine Whip is summer nostalgia in cider form, reminiscent of an orange creamsicle with flavors of vanilla and tangerine and a creamy mouthfeel. Stem’s cocktail-inspired cider series is also a great choice, with complex layers of fruit and herbal flavors. Stem Ciders Taproom, 3040 Blake St Suite 101. 0.8 miles from Coors Field.
