Other than outdoor sports, craft beer may be the single most popular aspect of contemporary Colorado culture, and for good reason. Some regional brews reach alcohol levels of up to 20% and feature flavors as diverse as lemongrass, thai basil, pumpkin, Mexican chilis, wild berries and bourbon to name just a few. If you think you don't like beer, think again; many of these ales are worlds apart from the standard corporate lager.
The Source

The Source epitomizes the soul of the surrounding RiNo district. Recently wrought by industrial blight, entrepreneurs have ingeniously repurposed abandoned buildings and scrap materials to ressurect the neighborhood as the city's new artistic hub. Not only a one-stop shop for all things gourmet, the Source is also a captivating architectural space.

Carnal comfort food such as housemade sausages, po' boys, poutine and schnitzels are complemented by one of the city's best beer selections and housed in a raw brick building from the late 1800's. If you care at all for quality meat, craft beer or historic ambiance, you may find it hard to leave.

The Great American Beer Festival

0
This is easily the biggest and most diverse beer festival in the world- if you consider yourself a beer fan, you owe it yourself to go at least once in your life. Unfortunately entry is rather expensive (the ticket price includes as many samples as you care to drink), and the event sells out months ahead of time so planning ahead is required.

Set up in a building with an open floor plan are several huge banquet tables in traditional German fashion. In good weather most of the drinking takes place outside. This layout lends itself to meeting friendly strangers and drunken sing-alongs, and paired with the full liter (maß) sized mugs offers the true Bavarian experience.

TRVE Brewing Co.

In their words, TRVE represents being part of a counter culture without taking it too seriously. If you enjoy metal but don't look the part, you're still more than welcome. The beers are a big draw themselves; insanely bitter, citric IPA's and puckering sour ales are brewed and tapped without much concern for repressive, stylistic dogma.
