Some shots from this year's
Chile & Frijoles Festival in Pueblo, still going on through Sunday. My visit was early, while the sun was still up and before the bands started playing, so it was a sort of sparse crowd.

It's more or less a celebration of every Southwestern street food
to which Pueblo County's Mirasol green chiles can be added. |
|
 |
And there were a lot of CBD (cannabidiol) products as well.
I foresee a certain convergence, a synergy if you will. |
 |
| Yes, every kind of fast food and finger food. |
 |
| Loaded-up fry bread ("Navajo tacos") is all right once a year. |

These men are examining ristras of red chiles (sorry about the sun flare).
They were for sale along with many varieties of powdered dried peppers. |

But what you could not buy were fresh-roasted Pueblo green chiles. Evidently the vendors don't think that anyone wants to walk around with a ten-pound sack of peppers,
even though they are the best.
Next year: CBD-inflused green chile beer. I will bet you money.

Maybe you were too early. We got a nice bushel of roasted Pueblo chiles before heading home around 2:30. I missed the chile beer though; will have to look for it next year.
I was later than you -- maybe you caught the end of the El Pueblo Museum's Friday farmers market before all those vendors went home?
I'm not familiar with Walters, but I've noticed all of a sudden that I'm seeing a lot of chile beers. It must be one of the last things in the craft beer to be explored. I sampled one recently by accident (was at an event and the bar tender poured the wrong beer) and was pleasantly surprised.
