Longtime sports-talk radio host Shawn Drotar (@sdrotar) and hospitality expert nonpareil Erik Trujillo (@lilet88) find themselves a little bit embarrassed that, despite the fact that it’s adjacent to the Coors Field parking lot, they’ve never been to the cavernous Bierstadt Lagerhaus. They remedy that with Kira Martinez, who’s been there since the former book-bindery-turned-brewery and tap house opened. She explains their dedication to traditional German brewing purity laws (“Reinheitsgebot”) and discusses the challenges of creating great lagers. Shawn and Kira discuss “The Big Lebowski” at the bar — which was reclaimed from Denver’s legendary Elitch Lanes — and after discussing how much room there is for activities, Kira and Erik wonder if they just became best friends.
