As Budweiser moves toward growing its name into the micro beer niche, the world-renowned brew monster is making its way around the country in attempt to show that, as an organization, it knows a little bit about beer. Most fans of the frothy goodness already know, or at least hope, that Budweiser knows what it's doing. But, just in case they need a little assurance, Budweiser held one of its Colorado lessons at Celtic Tavern in Lodo. With classes on Auraria Campus and the surrounding area now a week deep into the semester and summer coming to halt, it’s just the type of education Denver needs.

Just in time for the upcoming Great American Beer Festival, today’s lesson: Ale vs. Lager. Cheers.
