It’s fall, y’all. We’re warming up this week with a calendar full of ways to sweat, plus fun new stuff like coffee collabs, new gear shops, and an entirely vegan food truck rally. Read on!

👀 Coors, Coffee, And CBD
Coors is thinking beyond the beer can with two new collabs. The first is a new kind of brew and a different kind of booze — a hard cold brew made in partnership with La Colombe. At 4.2% ABV, it’ll get you buzzed in more ways than one. But they’re not stopping there, Coors is also teaming up with local love DRAM Apothecary to expand distribution of their line of clean and calorie-free CBD-infused sparkling water.

☕️ Caffeinated Cups
From the founders of Torpedo Coffee comes another way to caffeinate. Close Quarters will take over the former White Whale Room space to serve local roasts from morning till night. Close Quarters will serve Corvus Coffee and will also rotate in a guest roaster. Plus, they’ll offer eats for all times of day, from breakfast burritos and lunch sandwiches to a lineup of apps to accompany its alcohol offerings.

🛒 Buy Local In Littleton
A new grocery store in Littleton is embracing all things local. From produce to prepared meals, Littleton Market is bringing together the best of Colorado. Founder Hannah King is passionate about connecting people to their food to create community and transparency. Check ’em out at 692 W Alamo Ave., but heads up: they’re closed on Mondays.

🎒 Gear Up!
LoHi is already home to lots of outdoor shops, with REI, Wilderness Exchange, and Rab Denver ready to outfit your next adventure. And it’s about to get two more. Royal Robbins and Fjällräven are setting up shop at Platte Fifteen, a five-story space at the corner of Platte and 15th. Both brands are expected to open by next summer. And we hear Fjällräven doles out free morning cinnabuns and coffee at their Sydney, Australia store. So, fingers crossed, Denver.

✅ Get Stretched
StretchLab has been limbering up locals in Cherry Creek for almost six months now. And now they’re spreading the stretch with two more locations in Denver. StretchLab Cherry Hills and LoHi are set to open later this year. Stay in the loop on social media for the latest pop-up events and grand opening info.

🍂 For When You Fall
The only fall you want in your life is the one with football and PSLs. But if you do happen to have an accident, know that there’s a safety net for those in CO. Local health care provider Kaiser Permanente takes guessing out of the “am I covered” game with one easy-to-use package, so you can get quality health care when and where you want it, regardless of what life throws your way.

The Great Pumpkin Haul
The Great Pumpkin Haul is back this year with a little change in scenery! You’ll take a two-mile jaunt through forests and open fields and over creeks and hay bales at Meridian Park in Englewood. But in case you aren’t familiar, there’s a catch: you’ve got to do it all carrying a pumpkin. That’s right — before the Haul, you’ll pick out your very own pumpkin and work to finish the course without dropping it. Choose wisely!

Climb & Punishment
Climb & Punishment is a 66-mile unsupported ride (not a race!) that covers all kinds of terrain—paved roads, dirt roads, and singletrack—and gains approximately one bazillion feet of elevation. It starts at 7am in the alley behind Yawp! Cyclery and is followed by an after-party full of beer — until it runs out. Bring your game face. And cash for post-ride food trucks.

Allstate Hot Chocolate 5k/15k
Choose between a 5k and 15k race and earn yourself a piping hot cup of cocoa! With marshmallow stations sprinkled along the course and a post-race party at Civic Center Park, you’ll probably leave with a sugar high to go along with your runner’s high. But don’t think it’s all sugar and sweetness — it’s also USATF-sanctioned.

Live DJ Flow + Restore
Zen out to live DJ tunes with a rejuvenating Sunday evening flow at RiNo Yoga Social. The uniquely sequenced yoga class will include 45 minutes of Vinyasa followed by 30 minutes of restorative poses and deep stretching led by Liz Layne Yoga. All levels are welcome!

The Big Quiet
The Big Quiet, a mass meditation movement that hosts some of the largest sitting group meditations in the country, is bringing their unforgettable experience to The Hangar at Stanley Marketplace. Find your zen with hundreds of your neighbors at the massive space. There's no doubt you'll feel leaving refreshed, but you'll also leave with the meditation cushion you just used, plus some GT's Kombucha and smartwater.

🍺 In Other News
TAG in DTC
Denver is no stranger to food halls, but they’ve mostly concentrated within the city proper — until now. Chef Troy Guard (of the TAG restaurant group) is taking over the 13,000 square-foot space off of Arapahoe Rd. that formerly housed C.B. & Potts. The currently nameless hall will have 10 restaurant stalls as well as a central bar and its own brewery.
GABF
Celebrate suds all weekend long at The Great American Beer Festival! Setting up shop at the Colorado Convention Center, GABF will bring thousands of types of beer from hundreds of breweries from all over the country for you to experience. Grab your tickets and scope out the long list of events to get in on the fun.
