Like To Eat? Join Denver Focus Groups and Earn Some Cash

This post is paid for by one of our valued community partners. Their support helps us keep bringing you news about deals and events in the Denver/Boulder area. Read full disclosure here.

Paid content. Do you like dining at restaurants? How would you like to get paid to eat? This is no scam. Food & Drink Resources (FDR) Research & Innovation Center opened its Denver focus group facility in 2014. Now they’ve created the FDR Research & Innovation Center, a fully-equipped space where food, beverage and restaurant clients can test new concepts, recipes and products.

The company hosts focus groups and taste tests regularly and is looking for locals who love to eat and share their thoughts. FDR is now also doing some studies for non-food clients — not a ton but some, so even if you aren’t a foodie this could be a fun gig.

Consumer research projects pay pretty well — between $30 and $250 depending on the type of study and time commitment. It’s FREE to sign up. [Read more…] about Like To Eat? Join Denver Focus Groups and Earn Some Cash

Denver’s Brewery Calendar

To say that Denver’s brewery scene is exploding is almost an understatement. Colorado has the second highest number of craft breweries in the nation. At last count, more than 350 of them across Colorado, with 150 or so in the Mile High City. That doesn’t include a growing number of distilleries and cideries.

Many of the breweries are in the heart of the city (especially LoDo, Lower Downtown) and RiNo. But they’re showing up in the Highland and Berkeley neighborhoods, Arvada, and of course, Golden. The events of more of these breweries are being added to Mile High on the Cheap. [Read more…] about Denver’s Brewery Calendar

(By the way, I’m not fishing for you’re-such-a-good-guy comments, but, if you must… Me: *blushing* “Oh, no! Any one with a heart would have done the same thing.”) [Read more…] about Bryan Blathers: No Good Deed Goes…?
