A sweeping generalization...Microbrews, hand crafted, in small batches. That was one of the (few) redeeming characteristics of where we lived in southwest Colorado. There was no shortage of microbrews, all producing wonderful products and all vying for our $$$.

Pinstripe - Ska Brewing
Durango Wheat & Durango Ale
Mesa Cervesa
Fat Tire (with a cool pic of an old bike on the label)
Carver's Brewery (in Dgo, CO - also has a killer restaurant offers the best breakfast and a decent bagel)

If I get sent on a beer run, I look for a dark beer, as local as I can get it.

Nick, I to had heard that Catamount had closed its doors. But then I heard that they had re-opened so I am not sure what the story is. If anyone knows, please share.

ChefClay - Utah is running around somewhere there in Nevada City. There's a small community radio station there where he puts out a program for distribution to other community radio stations around the country. Kind of an itinerant drifter, story teller, and songster. Pretty good stories if you're into left wingish, peace, and labor stuff. If you aren't into that and met him, he'd probably have you tied up pretty soon with his great stories. Just my impression from listening to him on the radio.

Pete - As far as I know Catamount is out of business and Harpoon took over the brewery in Hartland. I was over there around the first of Sept. and that's what I heard.

I'll double check that. But I had a Harpoon Pale Ale that was supposedly being made in Catamount's old brewery and it was good.

The beer dinner was GREAT! The abbey ale was to die for....banana flavor!!!??? and the 1554 Black Ale was smooth and mild....loved it. The New Belgium co is coming out with Framboise and a Cherry lambic. Can't Wait.
Food was suberb...especially the dessert, and paella pepper
