N/JOY HAND-HELD DELI- CACIES

A new restaurant specializing in gourmet tacos went online this week in Boulder as T/ACO: An Urban Taqueria attempts to bring street fare indoors to Walnut Street.

Former Kitchen sous chef Matt Collier and the owners of H Burger Concepts have come together to form more than a dozen different flavor combinations for the handheld meal.

In addition to its namesake, T/ACO, pronounced “tee-ako,” will serve up different fresh ceviche and tamale options weekly, as well as their take on Mexican Pizza. Vegetarian and gluten-free options will be available in the small restaurant, which features a bar to wash down the pocket meals.

THE BRITISH HAVE COME

Fort Collins favorite Odell Brewing will release its new Pond Hopper Double Extra Pale Ale beer in early June at the SAVOR American Craft Beer & Food Experience in Washington, D.C.

A collaboration with UK craft brewer Thornbridge Brewery, inspired by owner Doug Odell’s frequent pondhopping to “research” his industry, has resulted in an elixir that is high quality and strong in flavor. Thornbridge head brewer Caolan Vaughan made his way from the UK to work on the project, proving beer culture knows no bounds.

“This beer has a rich golden color with aromas of grapefruit, orange pine and ripe melon,” Doug Odell says of the 8.9 percent ABV brew capped with cork-and-cage bottles.

Pond Hopper will be available soon in the Odell distribution realm.

MICRO BREWING YOUR FRUIT

The Colorado Cider Company recently celebrated one year in the business, thanks to an old-fashioned work ethic, thirsty mouths and craft-brewed hard cider.

In the meantime, Colorado Cider has introduced a dry-hopped Grasshop-ah cider and the premium barrel-aged Ol’ Stumpy cider, broadening the local scope of cider sales and craft offerings available.

The Colorado Cider Company’s production facility in Denver is open for tours and features a tasting room that will be open seven days a week beginning June 3. A new cider with honey and herbs is slated for June, with barrel-aged specialties a possibility for the future.
