Today is World No Tobacco Day. A day to put away the smokes and clear the air a bit. Instead, have a pint of craft beer and celebrate the fact that we're one more day closer to the weekend! If you don't want to put away the smokes, celebrate Genghis Khan's birthday instead. Here's what's happening around the Colorado beerosphere today Thursday, May 31st, 2012.
