India Pale Ale - Outer Range Brewing Company There are a lot of different reasons behind my selections for the beer for the Thirsty Thursday beer reviews - and I wish I could share a very deep story behind this one but alas I cannot.

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 →

There is something different about you. The way your flavor dances upon my tongue after that first sip. The fruit, the freedom, the fun - almost as intoxicating as you. The beads of sweat remind me not to linger but enjoy. There is something special about you, Summer Beer
For the fourth beer of June I went for 3rd Eye, a pale ale, brewed in Durango, Colorado. I am going to be completely honest and admit I was drawn to the can more than anything when I picked up this beer. I have only had a few things from Steamworks in the past so... Continue Reading →
Hall Brewing Company- Parker, Colorado I don't live far from Parker, being based in southeast Aurora, but to me it's like another world. It's a slower pace, more family oriented and has a bit of country flair. The country theme is embodied in Hall Brewing Company. All of their beer is brewed on a farm... Continue Reading →
