Thrillist Denver
Wednesday August 1, 2012

The Playbook
Drink Beer from Down Under, Eat Strings, and Laugh It Up

Ha!: Laugh Track Comedy Festival
Tomorrow, Aug 2nd-4th at the Oriental Theater, 4335 West 44th Ave; Berkeley and Bug Theater, 3654 Navajo St; Highland
This year, the fest takes over two theaters to show off Denver's best stand-ups (plus visitors from LA/ NYC) and bizarre/ funny short films like The Birth of Sock Juice and Rocky Mountain Oysters, which'll likely win two veiny, giant, Golden Globes. New activities include a midnight bowling party, a series of hilarious debates, and a Ben Roy-hosted discussion with a CU prof who's trying to discover "what makes things funny" -- so he clearly needs to watch this video, in which some of Laugh Track's best give us a tour of the real Denver (note: it's the fake Denver).
A few hilarious Mile High comics performing at the Fest give you a behind-the-scenes tour of your city

Under-The-Street Cred: Beer From The Underground
Available at Wynkoop, 1634 18th St; LoDo; 303.297.2700 and Brown Palace Hotel, 321 17th St; CBD; 303.297.3111
Did you know that deep underneath Mile High's legendary Brown Palace Hotel, an artesian well provides crisp, clean water to its guests? And were you aware that water is an ingredient in beer? And do you understand that Wynkoop Brewery has carted in 800 gallons of that stuff to make their new, Summery 1892 Artesian Lager, which's billed as a cross between "a late-1800s steam-style beer and a modern cream ale"? Well you do/are now!
Check YouTube for how they made this extraordinary beer

Behold: Strings' New Look/Menu
1700 Humboldt St; Uptown; 303.831.7310
Like Botox, the Uptown restaurant is injecting itself with some youth, ditching the white tablecloths, dressing down the servers, and hiring new chefs in their 20s who love The Hunger Games and have updated the menu with stuff like Snake River Farms pork sausage, duck confit gnocchi, and red pepper fusilli with braised short rib ragu.
Peep the full menu with a whole lotta deliciousness on it, at StringsRestaurant.com

Get Outta Town: Camp Fest Colorado
Aug 31st-Sept 2nd: 1259 Alvarado Rd; Idaho Springs
The sounds of nature rarely include tasty guitar licks and banging drum solos, so spend Labor Day weekend camping out at a brand-new music fest just 45mins from Mile High instead. Two stages of electronic/ dubstep, DJs, jam bands, and hip-hop acts. Rides to nearby zip-lining courses & mountain bike tours. Hookah lounges, live art expos, "forest laser shows", and way more, here.
Peruse the full lineup, and then email wincampfest@yahoo.com because two randomly selected peeps will score two free tickets to the Fest

Wear: Retromarine Boardshorts
Grab a pair of eye-catching trunks from our bros at JT, who teamed up with the luxury swimwear concern to bring you fast-drying shorts imbued with "the essence of the Eighties", though they're totally BYOBushy pubes.
Snag a pair at JackThreads

Believe It: Industry Portage: the Mark Ruffalo of Luggage
Mark Ruffalo: ruggedly handsome, and able to turn green. Industry Portage's bags: also ruggedly handsome, and able to turn everyone green... with envy! So pick one of these gorgeously stitched, impossibly durable canvas beauties for just under half off, and enjoy the rest of the plane's incredible jealousy as you stash 'em in the overhead.
Thrillist Rewards has a great alternative to carrying around plastic trash bags, right here
