The taps at Falling Rock, 1919 Blake Street, are always up-to-date, especially during the Great American Beer Festival. In fact, Denver’s most famous craft-beer bar can be a welcome alternative to the massive fest. There will be daily tappings throughout the weekend there, and today’s begins at noon with the annual Sierra Nevada Kill-A-Keg, in which the bar’s patrons attempt to “kill” a keg of the brewery’s Harvest Ale as quickly as possible.
