Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:19:31 GMT

Denver’s So Many Roads Brewery has been ordered to close for 90 days and, upon reopening, will not be allowed to brew its own beer or hold live music performances for the next year as part of a new settlement with the city.It’s the latest in a string of attempts to preserve the troubled, Grateful Dead-themed bar’s business, which for more than two years has been the subject of underage alcohol-sale and drug dealing investigations by the Denver Police Department, and before that, complaints and picketing over the alleged misdeeds of former co-owner Jay Bianchi.Earlier this month, the city’s liquor licensing department took the highly unusual step of rejecting a settlement with So Many Roads owner Tyler Bishop that had been brokered with the City Attorney’s Office. Molly Duplechian, executive director of the Denver Department of Excise and Licenses, declined to comment on why she rejected it, but in her decision, she wrote that “any agreement reache...

Alex Cobb’s All-Star regular season is over, SF Giants recall rejuvenated Kyle Harrison

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:19:31 GMT

PHOENIX — The only thing Alex Cobb will regret about this season is how it ended.At 35 years old, in his 12th major-league season, Cobb was a first-time All-Star. He came one out away from a no-hitter. He threw more innings than any season since 2018, and was about as effective as any time since, too. Those are the things Cobb will reflect on this offseason.But Tuesday night? Forced from his pivotal start against the D-backs in the third inning, unable to grind through his impinged hip any longer?“It was tough to go home,” Cobb said.He was placed on the injured list Wednesday, ruling him out for the remainder of the regular season. Should the Giants make the postseason, Cobb would potentially be an option, but those are increasingly long odds after dropping four of their past five and, now, without their No. 2 starter. Top prospect Kyle Harrison, who was optioned off the roster last week, was re-added in Cobb’s place and will “likely be a part of our plans...
