<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/ritzcarltonbeermassage.JPG" class="top"> Oktoberfest may be officially over according to the Germans, but there's still a way for you to soak in your love of beer, literally, at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/RITZ+CARLTON+DENVER/local/4481">Ritz-Carlton Denver</a> thanks to their Mile High Malt Scrub and Microbrew Massage offered at the hotel's spa. Here's how it works--arrive at the spa to check-in and instead of cucumber water, you'll get a chilled brew from a neighboring brewery put in your hands. Once that starts to kick in, you can begin your exfoliating Vichy shower experience. First, a barkeep, er, "treatment therapy provider", will mix a light rice Ale beer into the brewery's own malt. Then a full-body exfoliation is done on you using a malt scrub, followed

While you carefully monitor your March Madness brackets in hopes of winning the office pool, the Four Seasons San Francisco created its own special bracket for the NCAA championships where you're sure to win every time. The hotel is serving up a March Madness beer-and-cheese bracket.

The San Francisco hotel's Seasons Bar and Lounge presents every beer-and-cheese pairing like a basketball slate, with each slate offering three beer tasters and three cheeses for $22.

The beer brunch will have four brewski-and-eats stations at each corner of the pool. At one station, the Belgian-style Grand Cru will be paired with a smoked ham and roasted pear croque monsieur. Another will offer the Speedway Stout, an imperial stout with coffee, to complement the hazelnut French toast and Tahitian vanilla custard. Old Numbskull, a West Coast-style barleywine, will come with house-smoked bacon, sunnyside-up quail eggs and bird's next hash browns. The last station will pour Anvil, the brewery's signature beer, to go

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/skamania.jpg" class="top"> Oh yeah. Its officially beer festival season. Celebrate the almighty process of fermentation at <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Skamania+Lodge/ian/232810">Skamania Lodges</a> inaugural Celebration of Beer Weekend, being held October 24 & 25th. Youre probably asking yourself, where the hell is Skamania Lodge? We did too, until we moved to the great Evergreen State and honed our lodge knowledge. Think Columbia River Gorge mountain lodge meets Northern Exposure environs less than an hour east of Portland, OR. (The hit series early 90s was actually filmed about three hours from the Stevenson, WA resort.) The Pacific Northwest may still be figuring out a few things when it comes to <a href="http://www.northwestwine.org/">winemaking</a> (Pinot freaks in Willamette Valley excluded), but has nailed the art of

He's got some work to do at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Four+Points+by+Sheraton+Manhattan+-+Chelsea/ian/218485">Four Points by Sheraton Manhattan Chelsea</a>. We stopped in to the hotel's restaurant and "lounge"--U and Mie--for a couple brews. We've got no idea where the name comes from, but it's about as bad as the place itself. The centerpiece of the small, poorly lit space is a giant flat screen TV, tuned to <a href="http://imdb.com/title/tt0247102/">Girlfriends</a>. Our lovely bartender did a good job of keeping our mugs full, though she's "Not much of a beer person," and couldn't warn us off what turned out to be a terrible <a href="http://www.leinie.com/">Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat</a>.
