Major news from downtown Denver this week as one of its biggest annual events, the Great American Beer Festival, announced its departure from the Colorado Convention Center for Levitt Pavilion. It's the first time the event will be held outdoors, a major shake-up for one of the largest beer festivals in the country. View our story below, as well as our feature on a slightly less salacious beverage, the non-alcoholic "dirty soda." Plus, Denver is welcoming another Italian restaurant to town.

Berliner Haus

Earlier this month, I recommended Bikers and Bakers, the new concept from "Biker" Jim Pittenger inside of Denver's Avanti Food & Beverage food hall. Another concept, Berliner Haus, launched around the same time last year in the stall next door to Bikers and Bakers after a celebrated stint as a food truck. Its specialty is the doner kebab, a street-food sandwich made with Turkish pide, a flatbread that's gashed open and stuffed over the brim with meat, garlic or chile sauces and a fresh salad mix of red cabbage, onions and cucumbers. I ordered mine with chicken ($14 listed online), though there is one with falafel ($16) and another with beef and lamb ($15). The individual parts are stellar on their own; together, they combine into a sandwich that is large, juicy and exploding with flavor.
