Like beer flowing in the Convention Center, there's a steady stream of news flowing this weekend to quench our thirsty minds.
Read today's news roundup for the happenings on Denver streets, weather updates and, of course, to catch up on Colfax week so far.
Serious snow:
You know how we're getting snow on Monday that could break tree branches? (Denverite)

Colfax Week highlights:
