We can’t believe Christmas and the New Year are right around the corner! But I guess we say that every year…In any case, we are definitely ready for some holiday feasts.

Denver Bacon & Beer Festival Recap

16 Dec

Last Sunday, Forkly, along with Eat Boston and Denver Off the Wagon, hosted Denver’s inaugural Bacon & Beer Festival!

We over bacon-ed, over beer-ed and were in a food coma for much of Sunday.
