Flying into Denver on Friday, leaving Monday. I'll have a car as well as a DD. We'll probably stick to Denver/Boulder but can maybe make it out as far as Fort Collins. So where should I go?
Only breweries I've been to in CO are Great Divide and Wynkoop - love them both, and may stop in at one of those again, but I'd like to branch out and try some stuff that isn't available in Chicago. I'd be especially interested in any places that are having events this weekend, seasonal/special releases, anything like that. In general I tend to gravitate more toward sours and barrel aged beers but I'm up for trying anything you think is worth the trip.
I'm also looking for suggestions for good bottle shops, as I plan on filling up a suitcase with liquid souvenirs. I want to load up on beers that I can't get at home like RR, Deschutes, Crooked Stave, etc.
Thoughts?
