A Visit to Idaho Springs Merits a Trip to Tommyknocker Brewery

Tommyknocker Brewery

Colorado vacations are often built around two major themes: beer and mountains. In Idaho Springs, you can experience both. Not only is this city near Mount Evans, the 14,200-foot peak and home to the highest paved road in North America, but it is also home to the Tommyknocker Brewery. This pub and restaurant gives you [...]

Fine Local Beer and Excellent Food in Ouray

Ouray Brewing Company Bar

Known as the “Switzerland of America,” Ouray, Colorado is the perfect travel destination for those who love mountain scenery. In the summer and spring, many couples make their way to this community to be wed under the shadow of majestic mountain peaks.

Pateros Creek Brewing Company: Old Town Beer with Old Time Charm

Pateros Creek Beer

Pateros Creek is a little hard to find if you’re not familiar with Fort Collins, though it is located in what I like to call the Brewery District. Just a couple minutes from New Belgium, Odell’s and the Fort Collins Brewery at the north end of Old Town on College, this little brewery brings its [...]

Suds ‘n Sleep: Have a Beer With Your Bed

Suds-N-Sleep: Beer With Your Bed

Coloradans love their brewskis. And Colorado is the second-largest producer of beer in the country and is ranked third for the number of breweries per capita. It’s all about the water — fresh, clean Rocky Mountain H2O. Everyone knows that Coors, the largest single brewery in the world, is in Golden. But do you know [...]

Backyard Brewpub: Golden’s Second-Largest Brewery

Backyard Brewpub Golden Brewery

A hand-painted sign with an arrow pointing down the street, and with the words “2nd Largest Brewery in Golden,” led to the not-easy-to-find Golden City Brewery. It’s clearly a self-effacing, tongue-in-cheek reference to Coors Brewing Co.— the third-largest brewer in the United States and the largest brewery on a single site in the world. Nailed [...]

Upslope: Boulder’s Dream Brewery

Upslope Boulders Dream Brewery

Boulder’s Upslope Brewing Co. is an example of what can happen if you don’t let your dreams slip away. Matt Cutter and some of his friends dreamed of starting a Colorado microbrewery 10 or so years ago, but money was scarce, and credit for a small business was even more unattainable. He packed away the [...]

Cheers! Have a Cold One

Cheers Have A Cold One

Fort Collins is a settled, unassuming college town at the base of the Rocky Mountains. But it has more to offer than Colorado State University. A sub-culture – one of hops, brews and grains – has developed here. I’m talking about breweries, from the famous, such as Anheiser-Busch, to the not-so-famous, like the Fort Collins [...]
