+1 on Dry Dock!

Back from my Denver trip. Thanks to everyone that offered suggestions. We hit Odell, FCB, Equinox and Funkwerks in one afternoon in Fort Collins. It was amazing. Equinox was a blast and the beer at funkwerks was damn amazing. The next day we hit Mountain Sun, Avery and The Great Divide.

Probably saved 30-40 dollars in beer with the homebrewers membership and got an awesome random tour at the great divide by a guy that works on their bottling line. Such an amazing trip. Everyone was extremely nice and generous when they find out your a homebrewer. We did hit the falling rock taproom where I got my first taste of Pliny the Elder (awesome). When the bartender saw I had a list of beers I was trying to hit, he handed me a few freebies. Again, great generosity by all the staff especially at Equinox, Falling Rock and Mountain Sun (server comped our entire first round since it was our first time there and were homebrewers).

Thanks for all the recommendations I'll have to go back to hit the ones I missed. It couldn't have been a better trip to celebrate my 30th birthday.

HAHAH! I read your first line and almost clicked 'quote' to make some crack about being hard to get sightseeing done while flat on your back and/or biting SUV seat cushions... then I saw your edit. :unicornrainbow:
