Large central plaza, major playground among ideas taking shape for Denver

BY ANDREW KENNEY AKENNEY@DENVERITE.COM

Denver officials say a new master plan will make downtown a greener place, potentially setting the way for several major new outdoor features in the central city.

“It breaks the code on how we can create a more livable and enjoyable downtown,” said Mark Bernstein, downtown area planner for Denver Parks and Recreation, in an interview.

“It gives the framework to create a downtown that is more sociable, one that has opportunities for recreation, for arts and culture — one that is connected and sustainable.”

The new plan, called “The Outdoor Downtown,” was launched Oct. 3

with an announcement from Mayor Michael Hancock and other officials.

The mayor described it in a news release as the beginning of “a renewed focus to our downtown parks and public spaces.” It followed two years of research, including surveys of about 4,000 people.

The plan is fairly high-level, so none of its goals are guarantees, but city leaders are putting a lot of their political capital behind this idea of a more verdant city core.

Plan calls for four ‘iconic’ projects These are aspirational goals.

They’re big, they’re costly and they would take the most effort to implement.

One would be a large central plaza to be located in the middle of downtown, which could be used as a venue for large events as well as an everyday space.

Another would be an “arts and culture park” near the Denver Performing Arts Center.

The third would be a major play-

ground somewhere in downtown.

And lastly, there’s the downtown loop, a pedestrian and biking route that would circle about five miles around downtown.

But wait, there’s more The plan lays out some smaller objectives for downtown, including: • The installation of seating, water fountains, bathrooms and other basic amenities • A pilot program for outdoor work stations with outlets, wi-fi and shade • The creation of bike commuter stations with bike storage, showers and bike-maintenance tools near Civic Center, Union Station and the Colorado Convention Center • The construction of smaller new parks; the plan specifically names Golden Triangle, Arapahoe Square and Ballpark as possible locations • Guaranteeing that all of downtown is within a three-minute walk

Colorado lawmakers ended a special session of the Legislature on Oct. 3 without a fix to an intricate spending law that stripped some quasi-governmental agencies of the ability to collect sales taxes on recreational marijuana.

The session, which gaveled in on the morning of Oct. 2 and gaveled out by the next afternoon, was marked by squabbling between the Republican-led Senate and Democrat-controlled House.

The rancor shouldn’t have been a surprise: Republicans protested loudly when Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper first ordered a special session in September, saying they were given little notice or input, and continued blasting the governor through a special session they considered wasteful. Hickenlooper pointed blame at the GOP-led Senate, saying they put politics first.

House Democrats said lawmakers had a duty to fix an error inserted into a negotiated spending law intended to spare rural hospitals deep budget cuts while providing $1.9 billion for transportation.

In the process, the new law inadvertently removed the power of Denver’s Regional Transportation District and other socalled special districts to collect standard state sales taxes on recreational marijuana.

Lawmakers of both parties agreed that was unintentional. But Democrats and Republicans were split on how urgently

‘God is our healer, he heals us’ Faith-based recovery programs tackle substance abuse in metro area

20.1 million — People ages 12 or older who had a substance abuse disorder in the past year.

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

15.1 million — People ages 12 or older who had an alcohol use disorder in the past year.

David Seller never felt like he fit in with his peers. When he moved to Lakewood from Australia at 7 years old, his classmates made fun of his accent. In high school, his longtime girlfriend suddenly severed their relationship. In college, he went from having a group of friends to having none.

His coping mechanism for life’s problems was alcohol. Then, it was methamphetamine.

After run-ins with the law and a suicide attempt, Sellar hit rock bottom.

So his mom called Teen Challenge — now called 180 Ministries — a faithbased rehab facility for men on South Broadway in Denver.

“In everything we do, there is an undercurrent of Jesus,” said Sellar, now 36 and five years sober. “Ultimately, Jesus will change your heart and life.”

There is no shortage of faith-based recovery programs in the metro Denver area. Like secular recovery programs, they cater to a nationwide problem that is just as prevalent in Colorado — addiction to drugs or alcohol. Heroin-related deaths in Colorado doubled between 2011 and 2015, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment reports. In 2013-14, 7.5 percent of individuals 12 and older in Colorado experienced alcohol dependence or abuse, which is higher than the national rate of 6.5 percent, according to a 2015 study by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

Research shows that spirituality can help the recovery process. In a study, called “Physicians’ beliefs about faithbased treatments for alcoholism,” published in the U.S. National Library of Medicine, more than 70 percent of a sample of 896 psychiatrists and primary care physicians were likely to consider referring a patient with alcohol addiction to a faith-based program.

More than 80 percent believed that an emphasis on spirituality is critical to

QUICK FACTS

Step Seven Executive Director Thom Straley, left, founder and pastor Tom Roth and program director Brian Laney stand outside of one of Step Steven’s five sober living the success of a 12-step program, such as Alcoholics Anonymous.

The right steps At faith-based programs, religion leads recovery.

“God is our healer, he heals us,” said Mary Brewer, founder of Mary’s Hope Sober Homes, which has 15 houses across the Denver metro area, and New Beginnings Recovery Center, an inpatient facility in Littleton. “Once you have that faith planted in your heart, it is god that does the work.”

Brewer’s programs accept all walks of life, regardless of religious beliefs.

Modern technology is combined with a Christ-based foundation. New Beginnings clients are evaluated using an EEG machine that examines neurotransmitters in the brain to determine if there is a chemical imbalance.

Therapy is a combination of group and individual counseling, along with

a focus on exercise, music, arts and nutrition.

There is a church service on Sunday mornings. K-Love, a Christian radio station, plays on the speaker in the waiting room.

The model seems to work: New Beginnings’ success rate is 70 percent and Mary’s Hope Sober Homes is 87 percent, Brewer said.

A real estate agent by trade, Brewer said opening her recovery programs 14 years ago was God’s plan. She turned one of her properties into a sober-living home after learning that her employee was struggling with addiction.

“God had different desires and plans for my life than what I was doing,” Brewer said.

Sellar had similar feelings about God’s presence in his life. He didn’t grow up a Christian. He describes his experience at 180 Ministries as a

• Drug addiction is a chronic disease characterized by drug seeking and use that is compulsive or difficult to control, despite harmful consequences.

• Genetic, environmental and developmental factors influence risk for addiction.

• Addiction is treatable.

• People who are recovering from an addiction will be at risk for relapse for years.

• Abuse of tobacco, alcohol and illicit drugs costs the U.S. more than $740 billion in crime, lost work productivity and health care.

PLAN FROM PAGE 1

of “quality open space” • Attracting more food and beverage options, possibly by changing food-truck regulations d • More signs to help people find stuff • More security officers, surveillance cameras and lighting Another important goal, Bernstein said, is the idea of urban forests. By growing more shade, the city could combat the “heat island” effect that makes downtown hotter than surrounding areas.

“Right now, in the downtown core, we only have about 4 percent tree canopy,” he said. “Our goal is to have 10 percent.”

The city has a few options for doing that.

One would be to install irrigation systems that make it easier to water trees.

Another would be to change development policies so that builders are encouraged to preserve more trees.

“We’ve got a lot of blocks downtown that are nothing but concrete sidewalks abutting an asphalt road. Where there might be an opportunity to put a tree lawn in, they put in asphalt,” Bernstein said.

CALM AFTER THE STORM

SM

Who’s paying for this?

The Outdoor Downtown plan doesn’t set a price tag for all its goodies, and city officials have not announced formal plans to start raising the money. Suffice to say, it would cost many millions to do everything on the list, but the city also could start with the smaller stuff.

As it builds more parks, though, Denver also would need money to maintain them.

On the forestry front, Bernstein said that officials have considered the idea of a “tree district,” where an extra fee on property owners would pay for the city or the Downtown Denver Partnership to water and prune them. Currently, that’s the responsibility of property owners.

A similar “downtown parks district” could pay for more parks staff and resources that are specific to the downtown area.

The creation of either of those districts would involve its own public process.

the agencies needed that taxing authority restored — and whether the Legislature had the power to do it.

Senate Democrats’ proposed fix died on Monday in a committee, and a similar proposal approved by the House met the same fate on Tuesday afternoon. Both chambers adjourned soon after that 3-2 party-line vote in the Senate committee.

None of the agency leaders, including representatives for Denver’s transit authority, said they plan to make cuts right now, acknowledging that the money is a fraction of most organizations’ budgets. But leaders said service cuts to programs providing transit, housing and the arts could become necessary in the coming months.

“We’re talking impacts to real Coloradans,” said Democratic House Speaker Crisanta Duran in a statement. “The Summit County worker who’ll have a harder time finding an affordable apartment. The Lakewood retiree who needs the bus to get to the grocery store and the doctor.”

Republicans put much of the blame on the governor, saying Hickenlooper failed to work with them before calling a special session. Members also questioned whether a fix violated provisions of Colorado’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights.

“The three months between now and January give us the time we need to work through issues that were impossible to resolve in a surprise special session,” Republican Senate President Kevin Grantham said in a statement. “We agree that finding a solution to the bill-drafting mistake is possible and we regret any hardships the glitch may be causing in some of the special districts.”

Hickenlooper said in a statement that the GOP-led Senate “refused to fix an error.”

“In the end, partisan politics overshadowed the clear intentions of Colorado voters,” he said. “These tactics only divide us and fuel cynicism. We have been raised to own up to our mistakes and fix them. Most Coloradans believe these values should apply to everyone, especially to government.”

Law to safeguard children from pot edibles takes effect Certain candies banned as state tries to stay beneath radar of federal government

BY KATHLEEN FOODY ASSOCIATED PRESS

A ban on gummy bears and other edible marijuana products shaped like animals, people and fruit took effect this month in Colorado — a change aimed at decreasing the likelihood that small children will mistake the items for a favorite treat.

The switch is less dramatic for Colorado’s cannabis companies than adapting to last fall’s rollout of exhaustive requirements for labeling, packaging and stamps on individual edible marijuana products.

But it’s motivated by the same concerns about children popping tasty-looking products into their mouths and getting sick, or adults accidentally overdoing it when they consume edible pot.

The marijuana industry isn’t alone in trying to anticipate what

will catch a grabby toddler’s eye.

People call Colorado’s poison control hotline thousands of times each year when kids swallow household cleaners and prescription medications — far more often than they call about marijuana products, said Larry Wolk, the state health agency’s executive director.

“Anything that can look like candy is more enticing to kids,” Wolk said.

But as part of an ongoing effort to avoid a federal crackdown on its marijuana experiment, Colorado has made cutting the number of accidental ingestion reports a priority.

In an August letter responding to Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ request for information on marijuana legalization, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper highlighted the state’s progressively stricter packaging and labeling requirements as a key part of its efforts to minimize retail pot’s appeal to kids.

Colorado lawmakers approved the ban on some edible shapes in 2016.

At one hearing on the issue, lawmakers shown packages of gummy candies that contained pot and typical gummy bears couldn’t tell the difference, said Mike Hartman, director of Colorado’s Department of Revenue.

“That really highlighted that we need to take some action here and make sure these products are not to be mistaken, particularly anyone under the age of 21,” Hartman said.

Other states where marijuana is legal have similar restrictions, including Washington. California also may join in; lawmakers approved shape restrictions this year.

In Colorado, retailers aren’t allowed to sell the banned shapes after Oct. 1, but manufacturers had more than a year to prepare and say it wasn’t a difficult switch.

At Colorado Harvest Company, a Denver dispensary, CEO Tim Cullen displays the result: a chocolate bar wrapped in a paper sleeve that’s difficult for even an adult to slide off; cookies stamped with “T-H-C” in edible dye; and colorful gem-shaped lozenges sold in a white vial capped with a childproof top.

“The same rules that apply to alcohol or prescription medication have to apply to marijuana,” Cullen said.

“Realizing that you have an adult product in your house and making sure your children can’t get it is the ultimate line of defense.”

Customers in Colorado pot shops also will notice a bolder disclosure on product labels for the amount of THC — the compound in marijuana

that creates users’ “high” feeling.

Researchers don’t know much about the impact higher potency products have on consumers, but one study at the University of Mississippi found the potency of marijuana confiscated by federal authorities has steadily increased since the 1990s.

A team at the University of Colorado-Boulder is several months into a study on what that means for users.

The team assigns people products ranging from 65 to 90 percent THC, said Cinnamon Bidwell, assistant research professor at the school’s Institute of Cognitive Science.

Federal law prevents researchers from providing cannabis, so study participants buy the products themselves. After they consume the products, Bidwell’s team monitors them in driving simulators and takes blood tests.

Right now, Bidwell said, marijuana users have to figure out what level of THC they can handle “with little science to base that on.”

“Is it comparable to drinking vodka versus a beer, or something totally different?” she said. “Adults in our state are able to purchase this product, so there are a lot of questions about how it affects them.”

Players at DartMania run, hide and shoot with arsenal of sponge darts

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Young players filled the air with their laughs, squeals and sponge darts as they played a variety of games on Sept. 17 at DartMania in Englewood.

The newly opened business occupies the former Country Buffet location at 301 Englewood Parkway. Designers created two large obstacle-filled rooms for the high-energy sponge dart games.

Parents are welcome to join their children in the games or they can find seats along the outside walls where they can watch the action through viewing windows.

“My partner Vinny Mulvey and I opened this business because our kids and their friends loved playing games with their Nerf blasters, sending foam darts all over our yards,” said Jennifer Piccolo, co-owner. “We figured other kids liked the Nerf blasters and foam darts, so why not provide a place for them to play?”

The South Denver resident said they found the location and discovered that when Country Buffet moved out, it left everything behind, including the dishes and silverware. It took about six month to demolish the inside of the building and create the DartMania facility.

“We also had to decide what equipment would work best here,” the co-owner said. “We did research and picked 25 Nerf blasters and had our kids and their friends put them to the test and rate them. They picked the top 10 and that is what we have on hand now.”

Prospective players are greeted in the lobby. They are provided safety glasses, a Nerf blaster and foam darts before entering one of the obstaclefilled rooms where music is playing and an announcer directs the action.

The Nerf blaster provided is a singleshot, but for a small cost the player can upgrade his or her blaster. There are blasters that hold several darts in a revolving cylinder as well as blasters that shoot farther than the standardissue one. Players wear colored vests that include pouches to collect addiSEE DARTMANIA, P11

and love that goes on there,” said Sellar, who is now studying to become a counselor. “People get refined through the fire.”

180 Ministries works with several churches in the area, including Journey Church in Castle Rock, 9009 Clydesdale Road, which is hosting a fundraiser event at 7 p.m. Oct. 21 to raise money for the program. Tickets can be purchased at 180ministries.net/spark. Right now, the facility can house up to 18 men. Director and pastor Scott Stutzman wants to see that number double and the addition of sober living homes for six to eight men.

The success rate of the program is 87 percent, he said.

“They come in with nothing,” Stutzman said. “They hit rock bottom and are serious about getting their life turned around.”

Finding an identity For some, a faith-based recovery program is the only option left. Aaron Dennis joined Step Seven, a recovery community for men based in Parker, after failed attempts with a different program.

On the verge of losing everything prior to the program, Dennis hit his 30-day sober mark for the first time in 15 years on Sept. 14. He is in a 90-day program at one of Step Seven’s sober-living homes. He attends weekly group meetings and a Sabbath service on Saturdays.

The leadership of the program is what made him want to stay, he said.

“I felt safe,” said Dennis, a Parker resident, “and I saw sincerity.”

Step Steven leaders have dealt with their own addictions. Executive director Thom Straley used substances for 10 years. He needed a place to stay after a stint in jail, so he moved into a Step Seven home in 2011. The choice allowed him to repair his marriage and start working.

“It’s a recovery support group with a whole lot of Bible,” Straley said. “The 90-day process instills character in men who have a hard time finding their identity.”

Though each faith-based program is different, many people involved share a similar outlook: Faith is what brings clients and faith is what allows them to heal. s “No matter how stupid we were,” Sellar said, “God somehow worked to bring better things into our lives.”

In a world often awash in ugliness, beauty is the best place to retreat QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

Don’t look at me. And don’t look to me.

When someone like Harvey, Irma, Maria or Stephen Paddock comes along who challenges existence in ways that are difficult to rationalize, explain or accept, don’t look to me for answers, because I don’t have any.

And I never will.

Some (of you) look to the Bible (and religious leaders) when a disaster occurs, or when human beings run amok. I am sure the pages are getting a workout.

Counseling comes in handy. Entire sections in libraries and bookstores are dedicated to help books, designed to get you through the constant drone of Mother Nature and human nature.

I am almost talked out when it comes to the things that people do to people. How will anyone ever completely understand why Stephen Paddock did what he did, or why those Columbine boys did what they did, or why ISIS does what it does?

Can’t be done.

I struggle with it intellectually, bring in some emotion, and eventually resign myself.

I have tried a lot of things, all the way down to alcohol therapy, which could erase a few days. But when I came out of the pool, the

story hadn’t improved.

Lately, I have been listening to good music.

In my world, good music doesn’t mean flailing arms, costume changes, backup dancers, salacious lyrics or a repetitive cadence that best complements Ultimate Fighting.

Mozart is my prescription. Mozart was very prolific (more than 600 works) in a very short life (35 years).

Or I will watch a movie I have watched many times before, that I know won’t make things worse. That leaves out violence and special effects. That leaves out most of the films that have been made in this century.

That leaves out everything that involves Bruce Willis.

I know that violent films are money-makers, and that is why they are made.

I don’t know why anyone pays to see them.

Save your money, turn on the television and watch the nightly news.

I have heard that it’s escapism. Escapism from what? It’s just more of the same.

Someone somewhere is directing a film right now that will involve automatic weapons and multiple fatalities. Beats me.

Humor helps.

I spent the day when I heard about Paddock

reading quotes. I am a quote junkie.

I read one George Bernard Shaw quote after another. He could be a romantic (“Pygmalion,” which became “My Fair Lady”), but most of the time he was as cantankerous as I am, but far more eloquent.

“I learned long ago never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.”

That one seems very timely. I’ll leave it up to you to make the connection.

And this one, which better explains what I meant, about listening to Mozart on a difficult day.

“You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul.”

I asked Jennifer how she gets by, and she said she had become immune. After a while, one thing after another, it can become an unbearable weight. One way to make it bearable is to accept it and move on.

Someone ate pancakes in a Las Vegas hotel room this morning.

I recommend Mozart’s “Piano Concerto #1 in C Op 15.”

Are you always on the go? Me too. Are you feeling like sometimes you are always in a rush? Me too. Are you feeling like at work and in your home life you are running late more than usual? Me too. Does all of this frustrate you? Me too.

So, the other day as I left my home I came to an intersection where there was a stop sign.

The car in front of me was looking to make a left-hand turn onto a somewhat busy main street, and now it was taking a few moments longer than it should have. And at first, I started to get a little frustrated with the car not taking advantage of what appeared to me as plenty of opportunities to make the left turn. I mean I was getting more tense by the second, I imagined they were looking at their phone and not paying attention to driving.

I came up with a million reasons why they should have made the turn and didn’t. I was literally a nanosecond away from leaning on the horn.

And then I got a little tap on my shoulder and figurative thump to the back of my head as I was reminded where I was going. I was going for a relaxing walk to think and decompress. I had no scheduled appointment, nowhere really to be, I was driving to a spot where I could get out of my car and walk for JERRY HEALEY President

an hour or so. I went from feeling aggravated and anxious to laughing at myself and at my own self-importance and ridiculousness. I am guessing this is where you may also answer, “Me too.”

As much as we can coach patience, teach patience, pray for patience, and try and be a living example of patience, we are all human and the fact is that some of us are just better than others at patience. And some of us, myself included, need a reminder to be patient and practice patience. Patience may seem like common sense, but all too often it is just not common practice. We have to make a sincere and conscious effort to practice patience if we are to experience patience.

Stay with me now, because here is the best part.

I am not sharing this most basic virtue with you because it is how we should be willing to treat and accept others, and why having patience is so healthy for our personal and professional relationships, or with specific events and situations. No, I am hoping that as you read this you will see or realize just how important having patience is to our own peace of mind. Stress is a proven killer. Stressful moments, like my own described above, can not only be avoided, but can also be overcome

with applied patience. I mean really, where was I going? Where are you going? Where are we going and what are we doing that is so urgent that we are willing to give up our own health and peace of mind in the effort to manage the rush and crush of life?

The answer in most cases is easy, “Nowhere and nothing.”

So the next time we are in traffic, in a checkout line at the grocery store, reading a post on social media, watching the news, having a discussion, negotiating a deal, responding to an email, waiting for the light to change, or anything else that gets your blood starting to boil, please, take a minute and remember this article, and please practice patience. Not for their sake, but for your own peace of mind.

So how about you? Do you have an example of losing your patience? Do you do a pretty good job of practicing patience now? Either way I would love to hear all about your stories of patience at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we can control our mind with more peace of mind, it really will be a better than good week.

Colorado cideries embrace old and new St. Vrain Cidery in Longmont was started by three friends, and offers 24 different hard ciders on its taps.

Drink offers new world of taste variations

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

C

olorado is home to nearly 230 breweries, which means practically every kind of beer a person could crave can be found with a little legwork.

But let’s face it — beer isn’t for everyone.

For those with a more diverse palate or just looking to step away from beer for a while, cider might just be the right fit.

“I fell in love with the light and effervescent flavor profile of hard cider,” remembers Ian Capps, head cider maker at Denver’s Stem Ciders. “I think it can be much more nuanced than typical beer profiles, and I was

sample the Colorado Cider Company and C Squared Ciders, both in Denver, head north and stop

by Longmont’s St. Vrain Cidery, or head south to Monument to the Ice Cave Cider House, or go to the Western Slope and see where some of the apples are grown at places like Big B’s Hard Ciders in Hotchkiss.

“We have such a strong craft brew scene in Colorado, that cider was the logical next step,” said Brad Page, who founded the Colorado Cider Company with his wife. “When you add in the interest in farm-to-table and local foods, it makes sense that so many people would get into this drink.”

When many people hear the term cider, they think along the lines of apple juice. But hard cider, unlike beer, which is made from hops, barley and other ingredients, is more akin to wine. St. Vrain Cidery hosts food trucks, community fundraisers, live music and “Restorative CiderYoga” to its Longmont location.

SOME AREA CIDERY FLAVORS

Colorado Cider Company Grasshop-ah: Aromas of lemon zest and cut grass lead to flavors of light hops and a citrus kick of lemongrass. ABV 6.5 percent.

Uvana: Made with a 50-50 blend of Colorado wine grapes and apples. Delicate fruit flavors, a snappy middle and a dry finish with very few bubbles. ABV 6.9 percent.

More information: www.coloradocider.com

FROM PAGE 8

As Dan Daugherty, cidermaker at St. Vrain Cidery explains it, cider ferments completely dry to zero residual sugar, meaning that to sweeten it, makers have to either arrest the fermentation before completion or sweeten afterwards. The next step is to stabilize the cider to prevent the yeast from waking back up and consuming the remaining sugars.

“Cider is similar to beer in terms of ABV (alcohol by volume) — commonly around 7 percent — and in consumption and packaging formats,” he added.

One of the biggest misconceptions most cidermakers deal with is a fear that the drink will be too sweet — like boozy apple juice.

“A lot of people who haven’t tasted cider are expecting a super sweet drink, so when I hand them one of our drier ciders, they say, ‘I didn’t know it could taste like this,’ “ said Shawn Larson, head cidermaker at Big B’s.

“We’re all cowboys here in America.

Stem Ciders Coffee Apple Cider: Crafted with a blend of coffees from Guatemala, Brazil and Sumatra. Golden copper hues with smoky, roasted, tart apple notes. Malty with a tannin structure. ABV 6.8 percent.

La Chene: Red Zinfandel barrel aged. Smoke, caramel and vanilla on the nose, smooth, velvet mouth feel and slight oak tannin on the finish. ABV 6.4 percent.

More information: www.stemciders.com

We add flavors like apricots, cherries or hops into some ciders to see how they change the taste, which is something traditional European cideries wouldn’t.”

There’s a sense of camaraderie in the cider industry, and that has been furthered by the creation of the Rocky Mountain Cider Association.

The group helps facilitate events like Colorado Cider Week in May, the Colorado Cider and Beer Circus in August at Copper Mountain, and the recent Lakewood Cider Days.

“We have felt incredible support not only from other cideries, locally as well as nationally, but also from the craft beverage industry here in Colorado,” Daugherty added.

For the makers, it’s the infinite possibility of the fruit that keeps the scene exciting.

“My favorite thing about cider is the vast array of unique flavors and aromas that can come from fermenting fresh pressed apple juice,” Capps said. “Whether it’s aged in a barrel, co-fermented with other fruits, or wild fermented with natural yeasts from the orchard, the resulting flavor profiles are limitless.”

Three of the hard ciders made at Denver’s Stem Ciders.
