Eater Denver: In that’s-such-a-Colorado-craft-brewery-thing-to-do news today, Boulder’s Upslope Brewing announced it will pop-up with a Backcountry Tap Room next month. On Saturday, October 6, a makeshift beer bar will greet hikers at the end of a 2.5-mile trail in Fraser’s Grand Park. There, Upslope will serve the first cans of its new winter seasonal, Spruce Tip IPA, along with some year-round beers.

If you live pretty much anywhere in the Denver metro area, cranes and new developments seem to continue to be popping up everywhere.

According to this Denver Business Journal study, though, there are a handful of nearby cities that are experiencing the most growth:

In March 2018, cities in the Denver metro issued 3,266 new building permits for private housing units, reaching a high not seen since May 2001, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

That number has fallen in the months since, but as new home construction heats up in the suburbs, we asked the largest homebuilders in the Denver metro to list the cities (up to five per firm) where they're planning the most expansion in 2018. Seventeen of the 21 firms on the List…

As we enter fall, many people back off on lawn care.

The summer is over, the grass is not growing as fast, and we have longer and cooler nights. We are thinking about getting kids to school, and even breaking out the skiing equipment to ready it for the snows which are only a couple of short months away.

The problem is, fall is a key time for lawn heath; ignoring it puts your grass at risk not only for the winter months but also for the following spring.

Consider what Dr. Tony Koski, Turf Specialist at Colorado State University, say about watering lawns in the fall:

“Lawn watering is often stopped in early fall. Conventional thinking is that because ET (evapo-transpiration) rates are low and the turf isn‘t growing much, it is OK to stop…

Young people are pretty confident about their financial futures.

A recent survey from TD Ameritrade found that 53 percent of millennials expect to become millionaires at some point in their lives, if they aren't already.

While 23 percent believe they'll hit $1 million by age 50 or older, many expect to get there more quickly. A full 19 percent say they'll become a millionaire by age 40 and 7 percent predict it'll happen by 30.

But what if you want to speed up the process and reach that milestone in the next 15 years? It could be possible, if you're willing to work for it — and put away much more each month than the average American.

Using Bankrate's millionaire calculator, CNBC Make It found how much you'd have to save each month to…
