I would like to think that I am true to my word at all times. Hell, I am most of the time. But it did take me far longer to make the journey to WestFax Brewing Company than I had originally planned. I've enjoyed their beers at many festivals and shares - their energy at... Continue Reading →
Location: Denver (less than 5 minutes from Five Points and RiNo) The Scene: I had seen beers, posts and crowler pictures from all sorts of people as soon as this place opened downtown. The back of the bar looked awesome and people were raving about the beers. I finally found a time to get down... Continue Reading →
Location: Georgetown, Colorado The Scene: Just off of I-70 there is a nice little mountain town that you can stop in before making your final ascent towards the Divide and Eisenhower tunnel. Parts of it feel like you are transported back into time with the quaint design of the homes – well preserved through many... Continue Reading →
Location: Leadville, Colorado The Scene: Leadville isn’t exactly on the way to anywhere unless you are looking to get away in the mountains. This is what makes it great – it’s not just off of I-70, although there is nothing wrong with that, but it’s a journey. Now I will admit I hadn’t been up... Continue Reading →
Location: Frisco, Colorado The Scene: The brewery is quite literally just a jump from I-70 in Frisco but you would never know it. It's small but comfortable and has a huge glass door that opens up to a spacious patio that overlooks the nearby peaks. The place is everything you would expect to find in... Continue Reading →
Location: Boulder, Colorado The Scene: This was just different and I mean it in the most perfect way. This is at the same time a Boulder brewery and a place you would not at all expect in Boulder. There was an obvious space theme throughout but the music on my visit was older Cantina/Mexican style, the... Continue Reading →
Location: Golden, Colorado The Scene: Tucked at the base of the Foothills, Cannonball Creek is quite possibly the closest brewery to the mountains without actually going into the mountains. It's setup to welcome families (including pets) but has a beer list that will make any beer geek happy. The staff at the bar is warm,... Continue Reading →
The Trip When you think of visiting a local brewery to try out a couple of beers you don't often imagine yourself making a three-hour drive. Most of the time, quite honestly, driving that far for a particular beer would seem almost foolish. In Colorado there are so many great beers why would you make... Continue Reading →
Location: Denver, Colorado The Scene: You often hear that every beer has a story. At Fiction Beer Company they took that to the next level. Each beer is brewed with a specific book and author as inspiration. It is the meeting of the minds, beer geeks and literature geeks have a place to call their... Continue Reading →
Location: Lafayette, CO The Scene: Tucked away in Old Town Lafayette, it’s hard to believe you would find this brewery in this building. The only thing that gives you a hint of what’s behind the doors is their sign. As you make your way inside you feel like you are walking into your best friend’s... Continue Reading →
