In case you were wondering, Colorado was named the “Centennial State” because it became a state in the year 1876, 100 years after the signing of our nation's Declaration of Independence NOT because this fine state has 100+ breweries. But enough of the history lesson an on to business - beer is serious business in Colorado (which ranks #1 in gross beer production.). Many of Colorado’s most famous brews hail from Fort Collins, a large college town about 60 miles north of Denver. Spend a Saturday getting to know the local flavor by touring one (or many) of the town’s breweries.

This photo is from the Friday night Rockies game, as fans that were sitting in the Rock Pile, and adjacent to the Rock Pile, began migrating to the field for firework viewing and to avoid falling debris from the show.
