• As part of the Yellow Kite Summer Pils launch festivities, Bristol Brewing Co. is scheduled to host a series of release parties across the state, kicking off on June 3 in tasting room of the brewery located in Colorado Springs, followed by an event at the Rackhouse Pub in Denver on June 6 and the St Julien Hotel & Spa in Boulder on June 7.

QUOTE:
• “The name [Yellow Kite Summer Pils] is a nod to nostalgia,” says Mike Bristol, owner of Bristol Brewing Co. “It represents that feeling of summer when everything slow down a little, the sun is out longer and you are able to relax more. In essence, it’s a taste of summer in a bottle – a beer you can enjoy while flying a kite.”
