Pop culture

In Dumb and Dumber, Lloyd refers to Aspen, Colorado as "a place where the beer flows like wine". Denver, Colorado, has been nicknamed "the Napa valley of beer," only it's unclear how this nickname came to be. Referenced by the Denver Business Journal[6], it's rumored this nickname was created by the Sheraton Hotel chain as part of their "Chief Beer Officer" promotion in 2008[7]. However, it seems to have stuck.

According to legend, Denver's first permanent structure was a saloon[8]. While there is evidence of a saloon and brothel at 2009 Market Street[9] of historical significance, it seems likely that the true location of the first permanent structure is forever unknown. According to The City and The Saloon, Denver 1858-1916[10], there were numerous saloons in the Denver area during the city's early days.
