This relatively young brewing company helps solidify Colorado's world claim as being the Napa Valley of microbreweries. What began in 1994 as a hope-this-works endeavor has evolved into a rising player in the competitive world of beer making. The company opens its doors to the public daily for tasting, beer to go, and pints in the tasting room. Opt for the Laughing Lab Scottish ale which won the gold medal at the Great American Beer Festival, or the popular Red Rocket.
