Denver, CO, March 1,
2013 – “Colorado Brews” is a new half hour television program devoted to
showcasing Colorado’s craft breweries.
Each episode will feature one of the state’s outstanding breweries and
highlight the signature beers it produces and the passionate brewmasters who
create them. The pilot episode
will be broadcast on Rocky Mountain PBS Saturday, April 6th at 9:30 pm and
feature Crabtree Brewing Company in Greeley. This is the first television program of its kind ever
broadcast in Colorado.
The show is the vision of creator and executive producer
Charles Nuckolls and includes a cast of Colorado beer enthusiasts. “Colorado Brews” host, Ed Sealover, is
a reporter for the Denver Business Journal and author of Mountain Brew: A Guide
to Colorado’s Breweries. His
supporting cast includes Executive Chef David Davis of The Golden Hotel, who
does a food and beer pairing segment; beer blogger Billy Broas, who does a home
brewing segment; beer blogger Leah Arthur, who reports in each episode from one
of Colorado’s beer events or festivals; and beer blogger Dave Butler, who hosts
a beer tech segment that focuses on a technical aspect of beer.
Al White, Director, Colorado Tourism Office says: “Craft
breweries play a big part in Colorado’s thriving tourism industry. Colorado’s brewing heritage and
reputation has led the state to be called the ‘Napa Valley’ of beer, and with
good reason. We’re home to more
than 160 craft breweries – that’s more than eight percent of the nation’s craft
breweries – and some of the most influential beer events, including the Great
American Beer Festival. John
Hickenlooper, Colorado’s Governor and former Mayor of Denver, even founded
Colorado’s first brewpub, Wynkoop Brewing Co., in 1988. We are proud that Rocky
Mountain PBS is airing a program showcasing one of Colorado’s most well known
products.”
Charlie Papazian, author of The Complete Joy of Homebrewing
and founder of the American Homebrewers Association and Great American Beer
Festival says: “Pour yourself a beer in your own living room. Kick back and
enjoy reality watching ‘Colorado Brews.’ This is the kind of enjoyment every
reality show should offer. The first episode promises many happy returns. See for yourself – Colorado’s pride
with brewing its own. “
David Thibodeau of Ska Brewing in Durango says: “We have
many of the nation’s best brewers crafting many of the nation’s most diverse
and unique beers. The time is now for ‘Colorado Brews,’ telling these stories,
which are at once inspiring, if not all-together intoxicating.”
Gary Valliere, American Craft Beer Radio says: “Excellent
first episode, very informative and entertaining. Bravo Ed, Charles and the
whole crew for putting this together and I am looking forward to seeing more.
Cheers!”
If the program is well received by viewers the first full
season will premiere on Rocky Mountain PBS in the fall of 2013.
“Colorado Brews” was developed by Colorado Media Lab (CML),
a Denver based multi-media company.
In addition to Colorado Brews, CML is near completion on a two-hour
historical documentary about Dearfield, Colorado, the all African-American
farming community created in Weld County in 1910, and is developing a program
on Paul Andrews, a Denver based commercial airline pilot and art photographer
who is the only person to create aerial art photography of all 54 of Colorado’s
14er mountain ranges.
