After learning about the drink 'pulque' from a book a recently finished, I was intrigued enough to go out on a mission to find it. Simple enough, right? In the 21st century global economy, you ought to be able to have basically anything you want right? Nope. Come to find out, there's about two places to get pulque within 1,000 miles of Denver: Mexico, or Dos Luces on South Broadway. Given that I was not in the mood to jump in the car and drive down to Juarez, I opted for Dos Luces.
I have to admit, after trying this drink from fermented maguey juice I found it is probably not for everyone, and is likely acquired taste for those who love it (hence its lack of widespread availability in the USA). That being said, I guarantee you it's unlike anything you've ever tried - somewhere in between tequila, milk, and beer - and I thought it great that Dos Luces is putting it out there.
Given that I went there just for this, I didn't give much of their other drinks a try, but I sensed that the uniqueness of their offerings did not end at pulque. Very cool environment/atmosphere, and some central/South American board games to top off the theme. PSA: if you want to play the Tzolkin one, set the board before you have your pulque.... you are not figuring that one out unless you are stone old sober. I gave up. And I was pretty darn sober.
