Saturday, July 11th is the 7th Annual JUL-IPA Festival, presented by The West End Tavern in Boulder. The event will be held at the outdoor pavilion of the Millennium Harvest House Hotel from noon-4 p.m., and proceeds will benefit Safehouse Progressive Alliance for Nonviolence.

FATE brews one of my favorite IPAs: Moirai Coffee IPA.
