Cannabis & Beer Reporter
Tiney Ricciardi
Since joining The Denver Post in 2020, reporter Tiney Ricciardi has honed a beat she endearingly calls “earthly delights.” That includes news and features about beer, cannabis, psilocybin, reality TV, and the great outdoors. Prior to her Rocky Mountain tenure, Tiney worked for The Dallas Morning News where she served as the paper’s first beer editor covering the Lone Star State’s emerging craft brewing landscape. In late 2020, Tiney attained her Beer Judge Certification. A Texas native and devout Dallas Stars hockey fan, Tiney resides on Colorado’s Western Slope where her favorite activity is hiking with her husband and dog to enjoy a cold brew and mountain view.
