411 on Down town (LoDo):
- The Falling Rock Taphouse is definatley the old stand by, probalbly the best beer bar in denver (~75 beers on tap), their mato is "no crap on tap". This place is a kick ass bar, we should all probably spend at least one night there, the only problem is that everyone and their fucking brother will be there too.
- The Denver Chop House, a very nice resturant with a brewery, they do some good stuff there, amarillo pale, and wild turkey stout.
- Wynkoop's - Brewery/Bar/Resturant - Pretty good beer from what I've had, they are the ones that sponser the beer drinker of the year award.
- Sandlot Brewery - I believe this place is in coors field, they are Coor's farm brewery, this is where Blue Moon came from, they took a pile of medals at the GABF last year
- Breckenridge (ball park) - I've never been there, but Breckenridge makes some pretty good stuff (471 Double IPA, and 471 Mighty Brown).
- Fado's Irish Pub - Just a bar, they serve comercial beer, some of it interesting some of it not, but the place itself is a pretty cool place to go have a black and tan.
- The Celtic Tavern - Another Irish bar, again with the comercial beer, not quiet as cool a Fado's, but they have Pisner Urquel (?) on tap, and it's good.
- City Grill - This place a great fucking hamburgers (voted #1 by most publications), and you can get a seria nevada pale in a bottle.
- Flying Dog Brewery - just a brewery (with some great beer: tire bite kolsh is the best), I've never been on the tour, but I've seen on their web site that they are opening a distillery next door some time this year.
- Great Divide - just a brewery ( with some great beer: Yeti Imperial Stout - fucking awsome, Hercules Imperial IPA - Best I've had), not much of a tour, but they guys will stand around and talk beer with you.
--------------------------------------------
Near Down Town (proabaly don't want to walk)
- Bull and Bush - Brew Pub - Great food, great Beer (Man Beer IPA, and their Double MAN beer are exelent), modeled after some place in England with the same name.
- Breckenridge (BBQ) - This is the origional Breckenridge Brewery with a BBQ resturant.

- Odells - A good pale called 5 barell
Boulder:
- Avery - Great Crazy Belgins
- Boulder Beer - Mojo IPA
- Redstone Meadery
Longmont:
- Left Hand - the milk stout is great
Lyon:
- Oskar Blues - These are the guys that can Dales Pale Ale and Old Chub, and Gordan, I've also seen reciently in (Maxium or Playboy?) that they were voted one of the top 25 bars in the country, I think they have live bands on most nights.
Aurora:
- Dry Dock (this is actualy my LHBS, but the owner bought the place next door and started a brewery too, the Vanilla Porter, the Stout, and the IPA are great)
Idaho Springs:
- TommyNockers - Resturant and brewery, probably the best pale ale I've ever had, they make root beer too.
