Colorado 2007 ( A look back)

From a trip in 2007 to the GABF, what would a trip to Colorado be for a couple of Florida beer geeks without a trip up to Ft. Collins? We managed to hit a couple few of them including New Belgium and O'Dell which I have included a few pictures of. Notice the hop bags from O'Dell? That's nice, so was their I.P.A. we drank 5 gallons of it even in that high altitude where the beer buzz creeps in quicker!

We also spent some time hiking in Estes Park, there are a few of those pictures mixed in. Not beer related I know but you can't spend the entire time in the brewery or bar! Got to stretch those legs..


How's that for cold beer in Colorado...
Good old Redpoint E.S.B. perfect during a hike, heavy to pack in and out but at this elevation you only want to have one or two so you don't get really buzzed..

For some reason I really like this ad..

Beers like Rodenbach do not even need advertising but it is nice to see something that inspires my thirst as does this one!

The good Doctor, keeping watch over the old Flying Dog Brewery in Denver!

The "Mothership" New Belgium Brewing

If you have not been, you are late Colorado is a great place to visit and there is so much more! These are just a few of the pictures I have from the multitudes of breweries I have visited there. Truly a beer drinkers paradise, there is something for everyone and it is all fresh and served by very friendly people who love living life. I think that helps the beer ferment..Happily!

More later..

Cheers!
