Most states have made drinking alcohol at home illegal because of the proliferation of home facial-tattoo machines. Enjoy alcohol in public with today's Groupon: for $12, you get $10 worth of eclectic fare and a $14 pitcher of beer at Twisted Pine Brewery in Boulder (a $24 value).

With 15 years of experience handcrafting unpasteurized, pure malt ales, Twisted Pine Brewery satisfies fermented cravings with a wide range of rotating on-tap offerings. Tipplers can dip dry beaks into pitchers of nonseasonal beer, such as the Pearl Street porter full of roasted, chocolaty flavors. Like a troubled candy salesman, bourbon-barrel-aged Oak Whiskey red imparts aromas of whiskey and toffee, packing the palate-pleasing power that helped it win a gold medal at the 2007 Great American Beer Festival.

The potable pleasures are complemented by a selection of sandwiches, appetizers, and soups, including greek flatbread pizza topped with pesto, feta, olives, and more ($5), as well as a turkey, bacon, and avocado sandwich ($7). Meals can be enjoyed indoors or on the adjacent patio, where diners can revel in the fresh air, frosty beverages, and jealous glares of thirsty butterflies.
