Penny Parker writes about celebrating New Beer's Eve in the Rocky, so if you're not planning on going to the Guinness event, you can check out one of these options: 

Denver's Flying Dog Brewery, 24th and Blake streets, will conduct tours at 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. April 6 and at midnight on April 7. (Reservations: [email protected]). The Blake Street Tavern next door will offer Flying Dog's Litter of Ales for $2.

In Durango, four craft breweries (Ska, Carvers, Steamworks and Durango) will join forces and foam to brew a "medicinal" Prohibition-era beer called Spring Tonic. Proceeds from the fifth Bootlegger's Society Brew Year's Eve event April 7 will go the the Animal City Museum. Info: 970-247-5792 or skabrewing.com.
