Barnum Neighbors Cider Meet Up

The air was frigid and the roads were slick but the atmosphere inside the Colorado Cider Company was warm and jovial as neighbors from around Barnum gathered for a fruity pint. We discussed our love of the neighborhood, the reasons why we fell for our houses, and our hopes for a bright future in Barnum.

The tap room at the Colorado Cider Company continues to improve and offers a pared-down, but cozy aesthetic.

A taste of rum barrel aged cherry cider? Yes, please!

How about a flight of tasters for seconds?

Sometimes you just have to get a second cider before the first one runs out.

Steve, a long-time Barnum resident catches up Harry and Heather, newer residents, on everything there is to know about the neighborhood.

Well lookie here! It's Charlie, the brilliant lady who started this terrific website.

We even had a furry neighbor come and visit!

There was so much excellent conversation during the meet up. Barnum is full of interesting people!

Thanks to everyone who came out in the snow for a pint with new friends. We certainly hope to see even more neighbors at the next neighborhood meet up! If you have a great idea for a place for us to gather, we would certainly love to hear from you.
