Gilmore Girls” is one of the best shows for those who appreciate sharply drawn characters, lightning-fast dialogue and small towns with a personality that just can’t be replicated. That’s probably why it’s become such a beloved world for so many to get lost in over the years.

Arvada’s LUKI Brewery, 14715 W. 64th Ave., Units A and B, is honoring the residents of Stars Hollow with Gilmore Girls Day on Sunday, Oct. 16. The brewery will be transformed into an interactive tribute to the show and will feature trivia (hosted by Geeks Who Drink), themed costume contest, raffle prizes, and other surprises for fans.

“With one daughter currently experiencing her freshman year in college and the other striving to be the next valedictorian of her high school, the mother-daughter bond that Lorelei and Rory have is reminiscent of the everyday joy and struggles in the Smith household,” said Cammy Smith, LUKI co-owner, in a provided statement. “We have watched, and re-watched, many episodes over the years and feel we have grown up right along with the Gilmore family.”

Part of the event includes specialty releases in a commemorative mug: Coffee, Coffee, Coffee!, a light blonde ale that blends a shot of Boxcar Coffee Roasters in Boulder with their Layer Cake blend, with notes of chocolate, blueberry, and hazelnut; and Oy with the Pastry Already, a chocolate-eclair stout.

“At LUKI, we have always appreciated events that are unique and create a memorable experience for all to attend,” Smith said. “This event brings the perfect combination of being different and being together into one.”

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — The Who at Ball Arena

The Who are a good band. I know, I know — where do I find the courage? They’re behind seminal albums like “Quadrophenia,” “Who’s Next,” “Live at Leeds,” and immortal songs like “My Generation,” “Won’t Get Fooled Again” and “Magic Bus.” I mean, their song “Baba O’Riley,” is the basis for one of the best comedy bits in recent memory — just YouTube “Joe Pera Reads You the Church Announcements” and prepare to be delighted.

And guess what? In the year 2022 The Who are still touring. They’ll be bringing their The Who Hits Back Tour to Ball Arena, 1000 Chopper Circle in Denver, at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 17. As someone who has seen this seminal rock band numerous times, I can confidently report you don’t want to miss the opportunity to see them one more time.
