We apologize for being a bit lazy on the blog, but after a nice week of catching up with family and friends we are ready to jump back into it. We arrived in Denver last Sunday and stayed with my cousin Heidi and her family through Thursday. And by stay with them I mean, parked Stanley outside her house for about a week 😉 Sunday night was a fantastic dinner at my Aunt Betsy’s, Monday was a most excellent BBQ cookout hosted by Lauren and Chris (and thanks to Kyle for the ride there 🙂 Tuesday we met Brian’s Uncle Tom for a fantastic meal at The Berkshire and Wednesday I made dinner for the fam. (thanks to the latest issue of Cooking Light, the cover meal, Chicken and Guac tostadas was delicious!!)
After our relaxing stay in Denver, we headed up to Boulder for some beer tastings. We hit up Boulder Beer for lunch on Thursday then headed 20 minutes north to Longmont to stay at the RV park for the night. There we hit up Left Hand and Oskar Blues and then took our bikes and the bus back to Boulder for more breweries. We were very disappointed to find that Avery brewery closes early at 8pm so we missed that 🙁
So far our running total of brewery tastings are as follows:
Bristol Brewing Co, Colorado Springs
Trinity Brewing Co, Garden of the Gods
McClellans Brewery, Canon City, Colorado
Breckenridge Brewery, Breckenridge
Great Divide, Denver, Colorado
Boulder Brewery
Mountain Sun, Boulder
Walnut Brewery, Boulder
Left Hand Brewery, Longmont, Colorado
Oskar Blues, Longmont Colorado (2 locations)
Coopersmiths Brewery, Ft. Collins
Equinox, Ft. Collins
Odells, Ft. Collins
Needless to say, I am ready for a break! Well, not that long because there are two breweries that we will hit in Wyoming. Staying in Colorado has been great, I feel like I could spend two more weeks here, but atlas it is time to move on and use these wheels on our home. Tonight I think you will all be happy to hear we are going to try out our first Walmart camping night in Rock Springs, Wyoming. Then Tuesday we will head to Jackson, which according to most people I talk to is the most beautiful place, EVER. So we will see 🙂
Thanks again for following. Brian is going to post about our adventures in Lyons. Here is a synopsis of our last week in a Facebook album. We love to hear from you so use our comments if you’d like to give us a shout out!!
“Visiting family and friends, seeing the sights and enjoying the brews!”
