Forget the Oscars red carpet. Denverites were raving about celebrity sightings over the weekend, as actors Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul traveled around the region pouring drinks that featured their original mezcal.
The duo, otherwise known as Walter White and Jesse Pinkman from “Breaking Bad,” was on a semi-secretive tour, stopping by several liquor stores to sign bottles of Dos Hombres, a mezcal they first released in 2019. They also popped up unannounced in bars and restaurants throughout the Mile High City shaking up cocktails, serving samples and taking selfies with adoring fans.
We asked readers to give us a heads-up when they spotted Cranston and Paul. Here’s where the actors hit on their tour of Denver. Know of another place? Hit me up at cricciardi@denverpost.com.
