...Still, I woke up early the next day and, in the most American morning of my life, ate some fresh pie (besides the Best Brews program, Four Points has a pie program), watched some exhibition baseball and got right to drinking beer. Kerkmans led me around Denver, where, just blocks from Coors Field, we went to Wynkoop Brewing Co., a microbrewery co-founded by the city's mayor, John Hickenlooper. It's a big, sprawling restaurant with a comedy theater in the basement, and brewer Thomas Larsen makes a beer subtly flavored with chili spices and a stout with oatmeal...

...from written. Enter: Tsukiji Fish Market. On what would turn out to be the second to last day tourists would ever be allowed to enter the inner market of Tsukiji (too many visitors near the majority of the world’s raw fish supply is risky), we woke up at five a.m. and crammed into the metro. By 6:30, we had arrived, pushed through the crowds, and entered the central auction area. The fish stared up pitifully, the alleys reeked, the fishermen’s electric carts threatened to run visitors down, my stockings were soaked in fishy...
