Best Local Breweries

Yea man, Gordons is one of the best! Wish you could find it on tap more.

+1 for Great Divide. It's sweet to have such a quality brewery right in town, and happy hour is great.

Agree.

Odells is great. I wish we could find their beer further out east. Every time I pass through CO I always bring back their 90 Shilling and something new. I remember when they first opened in 1989 at the grain elevator. I loved walking in there to get beer. I don't recall they even had a cash register and as long as we looked old enough...

think i would have to widen the perimeters to the whole state for my top 5

1 - Great Divide
2 - Odell
3 - Avery
4 - Left Hand
5 - Grand Lake / Dry Dock (its too close to prefer one over the other)

although... this is only from 43 visited breweries out of the 120(?) now out there. Im working on them all

Great divide = best

Oskar Blues
Golden City
Dam Brewery
Avery
Great Divide

I still consider Flying Dog to be the best, but moved I miss my Thursday 4pm tours and then off to a ball game

Pint's Pub down by the courthouse is pretty good, although they're more known for their Scotch. I still haven't really figured out their pool game thing though.

Wild Mountain Smokehouse and Brewery in Nederland is definitely worth checking out if you're ever up there. I have yet to try a beer from Avery or Oskar Blues that I didn't like. I'm surprised that no one's mentioned New Belgium...ok maybe not.
