Left Hand Valley Courier - All Local, All The Time

Looking for a winter outing that is fun for parents and children? Look no further than Gunbarrel Brewing Company. This treasured neighborhood brewery consistently hosts a bevy of year-round, community events, delicious food trucks, and musical performances. Beat the winter blues and get the kids out of the house by attending Gunbarrel Brewing's winter concert series, featuring award-winning children's entertainers, Jeff & Paige.

This husband-wife duo met when each were studying environmental education at The Audubon Expedition Institute. Once they earned Master of Science degrees, this talented pair took their knowledge to the stage and, in 2007, began playing concerts focused on environmental education through interactive musical performances.

Each performance is unique and involves quick costume changes, audience participation, and science and nature themed songs that help teach children about our natural world. Jeff & Paige have released six albums and have played well over 1,000 concerts, earning a name for themselves throughout the Front Range. Their lively performances are best suited for children ages 3-8.

Parents are sure to enjoy this afternoon event as well. Gunbarrel Brewing Company prides itself on filling pint glasses with expertly crafted brews that feature high-quality ingredients. Currently tapped offerings include juicy IPAs, hearty stouts, tart sours, and authentic Belgians.

In addition to this awesome kids' concert, Gunbarrel Brewing Company boasts myriad activities and games for kids at heart. From pool tables to a pinball arcade, adults can partake in a little friendly competition while honing their backyard-game skills.

Co-founder Marie Fox explained that she loves every aspect of her diverse role at Gunbarrel Brewing Company, "I love making lasting connections with brewing neighbors, craft beer newbies, and aficionados. I love building a talented group of highly educated and hospitable co-workers who are passionate about our hand-crafted beer." The quality service and friendly atmosphere is apparent to all who enter the family-friendly space.

Of the esteemed company's beers, Fox said, "I love being a chief taste-tester and helping to develop our recipes. I love pouring all that I have to give into everything we do each and every day, so that we can produce the most outstanding beer we are capable of crafting."

Jeff & Paige shows at Gunbarrel usually draw a crowd of 150 - 225 attendees from the greater Boulder County area. The next performance is Jan 4th, at 3:30 p.m., $10 in advance and $12 at the door.
