On Wednesday night, October 10, after the Brewers Reception at Wynkoop, the party moved to the unofficial HQ of Beer Week in Denver, Falling Rock Tap House, a few blocks east toward Coors Field. Marty Jones and the Brewbadors opened the set with some spirited beer-soaked tunes.

The Denver 2007 contingent of Rolling Boil Blues Band consisted of regular bass player Bruce Joseph, brewer and distiller at Anchor Brewing in San Francisco; John Harris, brewmster, Full Sail Brewing and Hood River, Portland, Oregon; longtime RB3 harp player Marty Jones, Oscar Blues Brewing, Lyons, Colorado; Dave Alexander, publican at the Brickskeller, Washington, D.C.; debuting on drums was Barney Brennan, brewer at Full Sail Brewery, Hood River, Oregon, and band leader Tom Dalldorf, vocals, rhythm guitar and publisher of the Celebrator Beer News. The band was tight (not that way!) and hot!

Joining the band for Hop This Town was Julie Bradford, editor and publisher of All About Beer magazine in Durham, N.C. No stranger to the microphone, Julie jumped right in and held her own with Tom and the band! The crowd seemed to love it!

Beer Goddess and Brewster Hildegard van Ostanden introduced a new beer, a wood-aged Samaranth that was outstanding and seemed to put the band in a suspended state of wonderfulness. Chris Black, King of Falling Rock, took pictures and brought pitchers, the latter most appreciated by the thirsty bandmates!

The spirit of great beer is alive and well at Falling Rock Tap House in Denver and the band got one of its best receptions yet from the true brew believers attending!

Bruce Joseph is the rock at The Rock! The beat is in his fingers.

John Harris shows his skills to the tune Home Brew Charlie.

Julie Bradford's mischievous smile belies her demonic singing chops.
