Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel Blog

It's the Philadelphia Eagles at New Orleans Saints tonight. Who's tuning in? Or better yet - who's joining us at the Yard House for happy hour?

At the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel, we like to think we know a thing or two about beer. After all, craft brewing is a way of life in Denver – the city alone is home to 10 nationally ranked and award-winning breweries, is ranked number one in the nation for beer production per capita, and is ranked second nationally in the number of breweries per capita. Not to mention Colorado was recently ranked by The Beer Institute as number one in terms of gross beer production – 111 breweries producing over 23.3 million barrels. Nothing to sneeze at!

Love food? Then you’ll drool over Starwood’s rewards for foodies. As long as you’re a member of our SPG Loyalty Program (and get those points up!) you’ll be able to take advantage of some tantalizing rewards like sushi-making classes or dinner with world-renowned celebrity chefs. Lacking in the points department? No worries, you’ll still get dining discounts at more than 500 restaurants and bars at Starwood properties around the world – including the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel. How’s that for a sweet deal?

What goes better with a hot summer night than a cold, frothy beer? Maybe some food to nibble on while enjoying the brew! Executive Chef Scott Skomal recently provided our friends at Smart Meetings Magazine with his recommendations for the best food and beer pairings. You can find his suggestions on page 36 of the May 2012 issue here: http://pubs.royle.com/publication/frame.php?i=108268&p=&pn=&ver=flex. Or, continue reading below for an excerpt. Warning: major temptations ahead, so don’t read this on an empty stomach!
