Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:48:41 GMT

John Flaherty isn’t wandering anymore.The software engineer turned homebrewer signed a lease to open Wanderment Brewing at 800 E. 64th Ave. in Adams County last week.The 2,400-square-f00t space will mostly be the brewing operation with a small “cozy” taproom in the front. Flaherty said he hopes to open in the spring.“It’ll be a very personal thing and as small as possible until it makes sense to expand,” Flaherty said. “You’re going to know who’s making the beer, which I think is a big draw.”He said the industrial-style space was most recently a winery, and needs minimal work like fresh paint and the installation of a bar.“There’s something appealing about DIY, smaller, niche industrial space – it’s like what made RiNo possible,” Flaherty said.Broker Rodolfo Canon with Roche & Company represented Flaherty in the deal.Flaherty started homebrewing in his native Florida in 2009, when it was “the true hipster thing to do,” and has been searching for real estate to open Wanderment Br...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:48:41 GMT

Newly appointed Colorado state Rep. Tim Hernández clarified that he was rallying for support of Palestinians and not for Hamas on the west steps of the Colorado State Capitol only a day after Hamas militants murdered, raped, and kidnapped hundreds of innocent Israelis near the Gaza border.While we appreciate the clarification, and while we also pray for the hundreds of innocent Palestinians who were killed in recent days as casualties of the war sparked by Hamas, we cannot help but note what Hernández has refused to do – condemn Hamas’ terrorism.“I condemn war for any loss at all,” Hernández wrote in a prepared statement responding to both accusations that he was tacitly endorsing violence by his presence at the rally, and to a video recording a conversation he had with a counter-protester where he appeared to refuse to condemn the violence. “War threatens the dignity of life for citizens in all of Gaza, in all of Israel, and across the Earth, and I hope one day soon we may build a ...
