This book is billed as a guide to the 75+ brewpubs and also lists 19 breweries. They claim to review over 500 craft beers in this guide. I was ... Read Full Story
Here is a beer I wish I had tried years ago but had always hesitated to until now.

How quickly things can change. Just a few months ago a new brewery was announced that was going to make Fort Collins Colorado it's home. They spent a lot of time and effort getting their business ready to open only to find out just recently that the name they chose for their business was conflicting with another local brewery's trademarked beer name. So sadly, the new brewery had to find another name or face possible litigation.The soon to be formerly Horsetooth Brewing Company decided to th... Read Full Story
