A Little Family Time - Lafayette & Denver, CO

Aside from catching up with a few friends, we have had a chance to spend some time with our kids and their partners during our time in the Denver/Lafayette area. Rachel and Tyler (and Samson) have been our wonderful hosts for our visit. They are always so generous and welcoming when their "homeless" family comes to town! They took us to several wonderful eateries for some amazing vegan food - City O' City, Cake Bar, Vegan Van, and Meta Burger - to name just a few. We also played a little pickleball - with Rachel, Tyler, Dan, Jaimie, Rob, and Rhonda - unfortunately, I did not get any pictures of that action. We also played a couple of times with just Rachel & Tyler. We also did an escape room (which we finished with 12 minutes to spare) and a cidery (Acreage - a very cool spot with awesome views).

My strawberry & chocolate cake cup from Cake Bar - so rich!

An escape room with adult beverages!

Oh, we might have been at a brewery or two during our visit, this one was located at Edgewater Marketplace - where we met the kids for dinner one evening.

We had a great time, we really appreciated friends & family taking time out of their schedules to spend with us. Rachel & Tyler - you guys are awesome AirBnB hosts - 10 star rating out of 5!

Sloan's Lake BEER FEST: Know Before You Go

Colorado is a beer-loving state, as we all know. So, thank goodness there are opportunities like the beer festival, put on by Gum Pop Presents & BEER FEST CO, to show off the scene in a multi-faceted way. There are two BEER FESTs coming up at the end of this summer, in the Sloan’s Lake neighborhood on August 19 and one in the Park Hill neighborhood on September 9. To get you prepped for what to…

We're New Here

Hey! We're BeerCart. Hopefully, you'll start to see a lot more of us.

To start, we were founded by three college friends who have spent a little too much time at boring, corporate happy hours.

So, we created BeerCart, a booking company that helps Colorado-based breweries, distilleries and wineries host events.

To date, we have 20 event partners on our platform and are looking forward to hosting many, many more. Check us out at beercart.io!

We'll check back in on a weekly basis to provide updates to the platform, new event partners and what we're doing each week.

Right now, we're very excited about attending our first Great American Beer Fest in Denver, CO.

See you next week for post #2!

Hello! Weird question, but do you know any good fabric/sewing supply stores in CO (preferably Denver metro area) other than Jo-Ann? My bf is in CO and can't find anything. A thorough internet search has turned up only knitting stores and like one place in the Springs. Thanks!!

Allyn's Bridal And Milnery Supply has every specialty fabric ever (it's where I got the fabric for BUNNI) It's in Englewood. It's one of those magical "It's bigger on the inside" places. It's a bit of a schlep but you can't beat Lyons Quilting in Lyons, CO. Absolutely worth the trip, then go have lunch at the Oskar Blues brewery restaurant.

Wooden Spools is a Yarn and quilting store with limited but well-curated fabric stock and a SHITLOAD of quilting and tailoring supplies

Treelotta has a much larger fabric selection and a good supply of other craft supplies too. I haven't been here in person but they filled an online order for me asap last year.

I’m drinking THE BEST BEER. The last time I had this was in New Mexico a few years ago. I had it on tap and it was so good I got a case to bring back to Colorado.

I actually emailed the brewery and asked if the beer was available in Denver. They said no; Ska Brewing handles their distribution in southern Colorado but they hadn’t expanded to Denver.

Today, years later, I went to Total Wine. One of the things that I was tasked to get was “a beer that we can split,” which essentially means “a beer that I like that isn’t too dark.”

The craft beers are arranged alphabetically, so just for shits and giggles, I looked near the Lagunitas. Holy shit, there it was. And just this one: Marble Double White.

🥹

Somehow, amid the sea of IPAs and lagers, they managed to stock THE BEST BEER.

So yeah. I’m a little tipsy and a lot happy. 🍻

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and that you're all ready for this year to end already. I'm pretty sure given what's happened in Jensen's life, he sure is ready for 2023 to go out the door. Big Sky and The Winchesters getting cancelled, FBBC having 2 brewers quit in 1 week, firing several other employees according to some posts that were here on Tumblr and on Instagram, and let's not forget The Winchesters lawsuit that was filed earlier this year. I'm aware some people here have been speculating on what is to come of Jensen's brewery FBBC, so I thought I'd share a little bit of some interesting history with regards to the Ackles and Graul families in business.

In a previous post, I talked about some of the history of FBBC itself being tied to a brewery called County Coast Brewing Company that was in the Malibu, California area back in 2013. The former address was 29201 Heathercliff Road #116 in Malibu, CA. Gino was the listed owner of this brewery that was incorporated 10/4/2013 and became inactive 10/9/2017, 4 years and 5 days after this company was formed. Its current inactive status is listed as Suspended Ftb/Sos. One noteworthy mention here, I couldn't find this County Coast Brewing Company anywhere as being say "permanently closed" as you would other businesses. No Google reviews or searches are available either for this company. Hmm, it's just like it never existed unless you know to look up Gino's name and affiliated LLCs or remember the name of this company...

According to this website, it says under the Why is My Business Suspended section: "Generally, businesses are suspended when they fail to:

File a return

Pay

Taxes

Penalties

Fees

Interest

You may be able to find out the reason for suspension using MyFTB. Business entities registered with Secretary of State (SOS) must file and pay at least $800 franchise or annual tax from their registration date to current, regardless of business activity. Visit due dates for businesses for more information on when to file and pay."

After doing some further research thanks to this Tumblr post, it does seem that after Jensen filed for the incorporation of Family Business Beer Company back on 11/5/2014 in Dallas Texas, 1 year, 1 month and 1 day after County Coast Brewing Company was filed in California under Gino's name. Interestingly enough, a couples post that were seemingly tied to the County Coast Brewing Company dated prior to FBBC opening doors in January 2018 are still on the Facebook page. This post dated 4/8/2014 BEFORE FBBC was incorporated but is on the FBBC Facebook page states "On our way to Denver for the 2014 Craft brewer's Conference!!!" This photo dated 12/8/2013 has a caption stating "looking forward to trying out our newest batch of Pale Ale!" Again, no comments on it date past 3/17/2017 just like the other post that predates the official opening of FBBC in Austin on 1/10/2018 by several years.

The other Tumblr post I mentioned here even has a screenshot (along with several others) of posts that have been deleted including one that was posted on 1/24/2015 at 6:56pm saying "County Coast is moving location and names!!!!!! WTF?! Haha, relocating to the South. #AustinTexas get ready!!!!" Given the Graul and Ackles family histories of deleting comments they deemed unsavory on the FBBC Instagram page, it doesn't surprise me that they cleaned up shop on the internet and Facebook pages to try eliminating the existence of the failed County Coast Brewing Company and rebranding their Facebook page to become Family Business Beer Company's. According to this article, it states "While living in California, Jensen and Gino often brewed their own beers at home. The family moved to Austin and decided to finally open their own place. They found the Dripping Springs property in 2014, hooked up with now-head brewer Nate Seale, and got started from there." Guess they forgot to mention the former location the had in California that got suspended due to noncompliance with state tax regulations. Hmm....

Now, this is where things start to get interesting regarding the history of both the Ackles and Graul families and business. I mentioned the suspended ftb status that was put on the County Coast Brewing Company before. I also took the liberty of researching LLCs affiliated with Jensen and Danneel and found some similar statuses on previous companies they had incorporated in the past. I elected to put some notes to summarize things like when these companies were voluntarily dissolved (or straight up suspended) in the screenshots below. The Ackles Talent Services, Inc. California branch that was incorporated 6/22/2010 was suspended on 4/2/2013 and also has a forfeited ftb status which translates to the same status that is on the other brewing company that was in Gino Graul's name.

Looking over Danneel's companies, there is a Talking Poodle Productions, Inc. that holds the status "Inactive action by Secretary of State" that used to read as "Active not in good standing for failure to file annual report". According to this website for 2006 Louisiana laws titled 2006 Louisiana Laws - RS 12:163 — Failure to file annual reports; revocation and reinstatement of articles and limitation on authority to do business with the state, it states the following interesting tidbits of information: "§163.  Failure to file annual reports; revocation and reinstatement of articles and limitation on authority to do business with the state

A.  Where a corporation has failed to designate and maintain a registered office, or to designate and maintain a registered agent pursuant to the provisions of R.S. 12:104, for a period of ninety consecutive days, or where a corporation has failed to file an annual report for three consecutive years, according to the records of the secretary of state, the secretary of state shall revoke the articles of incorporation and franchise of such corporation."

Also, "F.(1)  As used in this Subsection the phrase "not in good standing" means any corporation which is delinquent in filing an annual report.

(2)  Each corporation, domestic and foreign, which is not in good standing is prohibited from engaging in commercial business operation with the state or its boards, agencies, departments, or commissions.  Any contract between a corporation which is not in good standing and the state or its boards, agencies, departments, or commissions is subject to be declared null and void, by said board, agency, department, or commission or by the Division of Administration."

There are of course other parts I didn't put in here for the sake of keeping this post a reasonable length but it seems that the bottom line message is the same here: The Grauls and Ackles have a history of not complying with tax laws and is unlikely they simply forgot to file taxes or annual reports as necessary. Was this to hide questionable financial practices? Are both families hiding unethical behaviors? Are they unable to afford accountants who can properly file all reports with state and federal tax governmental branches appropriately, so they can stay in business? Are these simple, honest mistakes on behalf of the Graul and Ackles' families? Not sure what you all think of this but it is entirely possible with this information here that there are some questionable business practices going on here and that the speculations here about FBBC not doing so good just might have some factual basis.

Todays side by side was IPA’s with blue labels. First up was Harpoon IPA from Harpoon Brewery out of Boston, MA. My first time having this one & it was a decent, fairly middle of the road iPA. Next up was Escape to Colorado IPA from EPIC Brewing out of Denver, CO. I did not remember this one but untappd says I tried it back in 2020. I liked it better this time than I had it rated. Before I had listed it as hoppy & floral, today’s was more citrusy. Neither of these was one I would go actively seeking out, but I wouldn’t turn either down if I had a chance to have them again.

Burlington Northern 6397

A pair of Burlington Northern SDP40's, the 6397 and 6394 with SD40R #7306 trailing are pulling into the Coors Brewery yard at Wheat Ridge, CO in December of 1990. The SDP40's were regulars on the "Beer Run" and as helpers South out of Denver to Palmer Lake during this time.

This is going to continue to be a blog of random travel updates until next week.

But we found a Gothic fashion store. And oddities. And a metal brewery.

Denver is making a hard case against my current home and we haven't even gone hiking yet.

[nice-bright-colors]

Well, when I fall, I fall hard…

There was the start of the late afternoon with this guy here:

Let me just say that 12.2% abv X 4 …. almost made me accept my reality of not being able to get that Kanas City project. Then again, if they ask me to go later this year…I will. And run up a large bill at this brewery. Bet your ass I’m eating the BBQ if I’m there.

So I also found this at my local liquor store. Who am I to turn down a Farmhouse Ale, especially when there are blood and axes in the marketing. Not to mention a Nordic accent.

One of Denver’s TRVE gems, pun intended.

Needless to say the wife™️ is probably thoroughly pissed at me for drinking 8 beers tonight…but what do I care? It’s not like I’ve never slept on the couch before.

Also, my Father is having some medical procedure he knows nothing about next week or so…because he just has to have his other hip replaced ASAP. All so he can sit on his ass and watch MSNBC and complain about politics that don’t remotely apply to him.

Damn.

I thought I wouldn’t make it this far in life. This is some bullshit.

I want off this ride. Can I go home now?

If only I can stay in a state of perpetual intoxication.
