Dinner Specials Around the Village

Friday's menu: whatever sounds good. Participating Mountain Village restaurants are serving up dinner specials, so skip the cooking, follow your nose, and let the village feed you into Oktoberfest weekend. No ticket required, just an appetite and a free hand for the pretzel.

Kick the Keg, Keep the Memories

Telluride Brewing is emptying the cellar before off-season, and honestly, it would be rude not to help. Expect a rotating lineup of Kick the Keg pours, available for as long as the varietals last.

When a keg taps out, it's gone for good, so think of it as beer with a deadline. Come early, sample a little of everything, and leave knowing you did your part for the cellar. Someone has to.

Pretzels & Beers: A Love Story

Two beers. One pretzel. Zero arguments about who gets the last bite (okay, maybe one). The Timber Room is serving up two beers and a warm, salty pretzel for $37, plus tax and gratuity, because we're not savages.

Grab a seat by the fire, tear in, and call it the opening act to dinner. Prost!
