Colorado brewpub named best in the country

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:56:01 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — USA Today's 10 Best readers voted for the best brewpubs in the country, and a Colorado location made the number one spot. The highest-voted brewpub in America is the Stronghouse Brew Pub, which is one of the last intact buildings in Telluride's Four Corners. Built in 1892, there's still a rustic feel to the place, except it pours beer now instead of storage for goods from the Rio Grande Southern Railway, according to its website. The building went through many business owners before landing in the Stronghouse Preservation hands in 2020 and renovating it into a brewpub. While the business is fairly new, there's a brass cash register that dates back to 1909, according to its website.The beer's made on-site and ranges from ales, stouts, IPAs and sours along with cocktails, draft kombucha and seasonal non-alcoholic beer. Based on Google Reviews, the food is a huge part of the experience as well. While the menu seems like normal bar food, the reviews suggest different."I ...

She has to save the world, and no, it’s not a new “Wonder Woman” sequel.The flick is called “Heart of Stone.” Like my heart: cold, hard and lifeless.This job probably doesn’t come with pizza parties.Jamie Dornan (as Parker): “You know what you signed up for.”Sophie Okonedo (as Nomad): “No friends, no relationships.

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:56:01 GMT

LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) — A search of the wildfire devastation on the Hawaiian island of Maui on Thursday revealed a wasteland of obliterated neighborhoods and landmarks charred beyond recognition, as the death toll rose to at least 53 and survivors told harrowing tales of narrow escapes with only the clothes on their backs.A flyover of historic Lahaina showed entire neighborhoods that had been a vibrant vision of color and island life reduced to gray ash. Block after block was nothing but rubble and blackened foundations, including along famous Front Street, where tourists shopped and dined just days ago. Boats in the harbor were scorched, and smoke hovered over the town, which dates to the 1700s and is the biggest community on the island’s west side.“Lahaina, with a few rare exceptions, has been burned down,” Hawaii Gov. Josh Green told The Associated Press. More than 1,000 structures were destroyed by fires that were still burning, he said.Already the state’s deadlie...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:56:01 GMT

Residents in a Revere neighborhood are fed up with speeding cars. They want drivers to slow down after a woman was hit and severely hurt crossing the street. 7Investigates took their concerns to the city and got answers.Roberta Cordero’s daughter Gina is lying in the street as paramedics strap her to a stretcher.“I’m sick to my stomach,” Roberta said. “There was a witness that saw her in the crosswalk and the driver didn’t, and that’s what’s scary.”Gina was in the crosswalk on Malden Street when a car crushed her right side. Gina needed five surgeries since the accident on July 21 to repair her broken pelvis, leg, elbow, collarbone, and check bone. She also fractured her neck.“If it was a bigger car or a truck, Ford truck or something they would’ve probably just mowed her over so we’re very lucky,” said Rita Dantona, Gina’s aunt. Unfortunately crashes like this are not uncommon on Malden Street.7Investigates found  23 accidents have occurred there since January o...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:56:01 GMT

Knowing the game being cut short due to rain was an ever-present possibility, both sides understood having the lead by the end of the fifth inning was crucial.The call never came, but James Paxton and the Red Sox pitching staff saw to it the Kansas City Royals never had a chance anyway.Coming off a rough outing last weekend against Toronto, Paxton bounced back with 5.1 shutout innings to help lead the Red Sox past Kansas City 2-0. The left-hander scattered six hits over the six innings he appeared in, but otherwise shut the Royals down and struck out six to earn the win.Not only did the victory give Boston a 3-1 series win over the Royals, but coupled with Toronto’s loss earlier in the day, the Red Sox were able to regain some ground on their divisional rivals and now trail the Blue Jays by four games for the last American League Wild Card spot.Playing amid a steady rain that started falling just before first pitch, neither offense was able to get anything going through the fi...

Orioles hold on to beat Astros, 5-4, avoid sweep behind Adley Rutschman’s leadoff homer and stellar defense

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:56:01 GMT

The opening batter in each half of the first inning featured impressive feats from Orioles players.To lead off the game, third baseman Ramón Urías made a diving play at third base to steal an extra-base hit from Houston Astros leadoff hitter José Altuve — the first of several superb plays by starting pitcher Dean Kremer’s defense. To begin the bottom half, Adley Rutschman hit a leadoff home run that narrowly cleared Camden Yards’ rarely conquered left field wall to become just the second left-handed batter to do so since the strange dimensions were put in place last year.Coming off back-to-back ugly losses, the good start on defense and offense put the Orioles on the right path to beat the defending World Series champion Astros, 5-4, and avoid a sweep for the 76th straight series. The bullpen continued to show cracks, allowing a run in both the eighth and ninth as the Astros cut a three-run lead to one, but closer Félix Bautista got Jon Singleto...
