Help me set up my Colorado brewery tour

[hrabbot]

Can you suggest Colorado breweries that are worth seeing? Specifically, ones that either have an exceptional product or a great facility?

[Musketear]

I tend to focus more on the product side of things... but I can definitely throw out a few recommendations. These are my CO favorites:

Fort Collins:
-Odell's (great beer)
-New Belgium (great facility, free beer with tour)

Boulder:
-Avery (great beer, and about 15 different beers on tap)
-Twisted Pine (decent beer)

Idaho Springs:
-Tommyknocker (good beer)

I like the Beckenridge Brewery on Kalamath. I also like the Back Country Brewery in Frisco or the Wild Mountain Brewery in Nederland.

I forgot to mention the Knucklehead Brewery located in my backyard!

Crazy Mountain Brewery in Edwards.

Bonfire Brewing in Eagle.

I'll put a second on Odell's.

Strange Brewing in Denver off Zuni, just south of Invesco Field.

Golden City Brewery in Golden is a tiny brewery up here with some really good beer.

Eddyline Brewpub in Buena Vista has great beer and a spectacular menu...

Steamworks in Durango is worth a visit.

Breckenridge is one of my favorites in Denver.

I'll second Tommyknocker. Good beer and an interesting spot to grab a bite in Idaho Springs.

Left Hand up in Longmont is good too.

There are several good brewpubs over here in GJ that make their own beer as well. The Rockslide has good food and good beer.
