Steam beer and bubble tea on tap next week in downtown Cheyenne

Grand openings are scheduled next week for two new beverage-oriented businesses in downtown Cheyenne.

The Freedom’s Edge Brewery opens on Wednesday, Feb. 22, in the Historic Tivoli Building. According to a recent article in the Casper Star-Tribune, Freedom’s Edge will open with eight beers on tap, from a stout to a pale ale. Owner Tim Moore has been a home brewer for a number of years. His favorite is his 844 “steam beer,” an ale brewed with lager yeast and named after a famous Union Pacific locomotive kept in Cheyenne. Read more: http://trib.com/business/cheyenne-s-new-brew-crew/article_21d5a27f-4e1c-5baa-bb44-616b18c7af87.html#ixzz1mVQhC7Xw

The Paramount Café, 1607 Capitol Ave., holds its grand opening on Thursday, Feb. 23, all day long. Here’s the plan:

We are having a Grand Opening celebration! We will have several local musicians playing all day long! We will have specialty drinks and door prizes! This will be an all-day event! Make sure you can swing by! Our performers include Devon Dvorak a local acoustic artist, Bret Herrick a local violinists (played at Carnegie Hall), Peat Bog Mysteries a local Bluegrass Band, and so many more! We will also have Bubble Tea! More info at http://www.facebook.com/events/245044685575977/

The Paramount had a "soft" opening in December. Never had its bubble tea but the baristas there brew some darn fine coffee. Let's hope that the hop-infused brews at Freedom's Edge are equally scintillating.
