A group of my core lifelong buddies and I try to plan semiannual guy trips, be it a ski trip, music festival or camping trip. Last fall we all got together to see Colorado's own String Cheese Incident at Planet Bluegrass in Lyons. There is not a better setting imaginable to gather with pals to enjoy the lights and sounds bouncing off the canyon walls and to drift off to sleep in a tent along the river. In this issue, we highlight some of the men who make Fort Collins great. Join us as we also feature a great family farm that produces incredible steaks. I raise my glass in solidarity to my fellow man! Cheers, and as always, thanks for reading!

WE ALL LOVE OUR PETS AND THE CREATURES THAT SURROUND OUR DAILY LIVES. This loving relationship brings us comfort, admiration and even nourishment. We would be remiss to overlook the livestock we passionately care for and the dedication required to provide them a deserving life. The ranchers and farmers that abide by this lifestyle understand that their hard work is less about the paycheck and more about the fulfillment of not only ourselves but the animals that are considered family. Get close. Stay close. Look beauty in the eye. –John Robson

Perfect Cuts ARTICLE KENDRA LERWICK PHOTOGRAPHY JOHN ROBSON
ROCK THE GRILL WITH PUMPKIN CREEK RANCH WE ALL WANT THE PERFECT STEAK: BEAUTIFUL MARBLING, TENDER BUT HEARTY TEXTURE AND RICH, BOLD FLAVOR. How do you know when you’ve found it? With the American benchmark for great beef being the high-priced steakhouse, we have all experienced the letdown of trying to recreate that memorable meal at home. We asked Pumpkin Creek Ranch to educate us on the perfect cut.

1. AGE OF THE ANIMAL This is probably the most difficult factor to control. Fat does not start enriching until the animal reaches around 2 years old (think whiskey or wine here). Older animals taste better, especially when they are allowed to grow slowly, without hormones speeding up the process.

2. AGE OF THE MEAT: If you have been disappointed with the metallic, bland taste of a grocery store steak, you are not alone. You want dry-aged meat. This means the animal was processed, and the meat was kept at a specific temperature in a controlled environment for at least 14 days. Within
Beefy flavor and fall-off-thebone tender, these savory ribs are best when braised.
the first 14 days, the meat takes on a bold, rich, beefy flavor. After the first 14 days, the connective tissue begins to break down, giving you the tenderness all high-end beef has (again, think whiskey or wine). After these processes are complete, the individual cuts are packaged and flash-frozen, locking in the quality you desire. 3. MARBLING Marbling is the fat specks you see in the beef. Fat equals flavor. The marbling should be small, well-distributed throughout the cut and bright white. Marbling helps to keep the meat moist during cooking, helping to ensure a tender, juicy steak. Look for High Choice or Prime Grades. 4. THICKNESS This applies mostly to steaks as they are one of the primary cuts manipulated by the butcher. Never purchase a steak under an inch thick. Thin steaks cook too quickly and curl. Pumpkin Creek Ranch is a third-generation, family-owned farm and ranch operation. Brothers Dean and Jared Lerwick had a dream of providing high-quality, flavorful beef on a consistent basis direct to consumer. Dean is the farmer and rancher, and Jared runs the sales and marketing aspect from the fulfillment base in Windsor, Colorado. Pumpkin Creek Ranch

Really good music comes out of you effortlessly, and it naturally resonates with its own sound and feel. If one stranger at a show feels what you’re putting down, and it changes them in even the smallest way, you know you’re onto something. That’s where the addiction to performing, writing and recording comes in—trying to capture as many moments like that as possible.

TRENDY CUTS

THE STYLES YOU WANT + HOW TO GET THEM
The FADE There are many different types of fades, but ultimately a fade haircut is one that tapers in length the further down you go on the back and sides, meaning it isn’t trimmed to just one standard length all around. The level of fade (low, mid or high) depends on what point the shortest part of the hair begins to fade into a longer length. ASK FOR Taper fade, low fade, mid fade, high fade or skin fade
The man bun This popular style is good for many types of hair as long as you have a lot of it. You’ll need length in the front, back and sides generally long enough to at least brush your shoulders. KEEP IT CLEAN Be sure to keep your sideburns and neckline trimmed even as your hair grows out.
The quiff Closely related to the pompadour, the quiff haircut requires longer hair in the front and shorter hair in the back. The longer hair in the front is brushed upward and back from the forehead and away from the face. This look can be sleek and shiny for a classic look or texturized and matte for a modern take. ASK FOR Short sides and a long textured top. Be sure enough hair is left on top to brush back instead of standing straight up.
