Fiction Beer partners with former bartender on new taproom in Parker

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 12:24:41 GMT

The connection between breweries and their regular customers can be as thick as the foam on a nice dark stout, so it’s not unusual for taproom managers to hire them on as bartenders – as Fiction Beer Co. did with Chris Belila, who took a part-time job there in 2017.Chris Belila owns and operates The Beer Bodega, which runs Fiction Beer Co.’s second taproom in Parker. (Fiction Beer Co.)That bond deepened further in early June when Belila opened a brewery in Parker in partnership with Fiction owners Ryan and Krista Kilpatrick. The new spot, at 19523 Hess Road, looks and feels like Fiction’s main location – down to its bar made of books. Labeled as Fiction Beer Co. Parker, it also shares the same beer and branding, but it’s owned and run by Belila.“We had been looking for a [second location],” Ryan Kilpatrick said. “We had our eye on Littleton, but the site we wanted was won over by another brand. The Parker location that Chris found fit the ideal for what we were interested in p...

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 12:24:41 GMT

It was all in the pursuit of greatness.Quinn Mathews wasn’t worried about what armchair pitching coaches might think when he took the ball for Stanford in the ninth inning against the University of Texas in the second of a three-game NCAA Super Regional series last Sunday.He recorded the final three outs, secured Stanford’s 8-3 win over the Longhorns and then did his best to ignore the rest: baseball pundits exploding in confusion after a college senior threw 156 pitches in a complete game effort.It was the second-most pitches thrown by a Division I player this year. No MLB pitcher has thrown that many pitches in a game since 1997.“It’s hard to justify to people,” Mathews said in a phone interview this week.Mathews called it a moment he’ll always remember. Stanford coach Davis Esquer defended the decision and said he’d never put Mathews in harm’s way. The Cardinals toppled the Longhorns in three games and are now preparing for a matchup against No. 1 Wake Forest in the third game of...
