Downhill Brewing

Downhill Brewing was started by skier Jake Minturn and snowboarder Doug Hyndman who met when they crashed while adventuring on the Colorado slopes. After making amends, they realized they both had a deep love for beer and decided to go into the brewery business together. Downhill Brewing offers a variety of delicious beers for patrons to choose from as well as their iconic thin crust pizza and fun events ranging from trivia nights to a run club.

8 Best Gluten-Free Bakeries Around Denver

Story by Jenny Finke. Denver is a great place to eat gluten-free. In fact, many of Denver’s bakers and restaurateurs cater to a wide-array of food allergies and intolerances. When you can’t eat gluten, Denver has your back!

As the publisher of Good For You Gluten Free, I’ve being eating gluten-free since 2012 and am awe-struck at the sheer number of dedicated gluten-free bakeries catering to the growing and loyal gluten-free community. You don’t realize how much you miss cupcakes, pizza and bread until you can no longer eat it at whim. These bakeries make living without gluten a bit more palatable.

Join 7-Eleven Loyalty Program For Rewards

If you’re at 7-Eleven 24/7, you may want to join its first-ever customer loyalty program, 7Rewards. Customers can earn rewards with every cup purchase made in-store. “Buy 6, get 7” is the first offer available — customers can get any 7th cup for FREE after six any-size cup purchases. We like it because you can mix and match any coffee, Big Gulp, Slurpee and Chillers purchase toward earning the freebie. Here’s how it works: Text REWARDS to 711711 for a link to download the 7-Eleven App (also available in the App Store and Google Play.) Once registered, you will be assigned a personal bar code and digital punch card on the home screen. Then, every time you purchase a participating beverage, a store associate will scan the bar code and it will automatically punch the digital rewards card. After receiving six digital punches, a coupon for a FREE any-size cup will appear in the app. A new digital punch card appears, once the free coupon is redeemed — so you can start all over again. They’re revamping the mobile app to bring customers even more rewards throughout the year.
