Growing up in the Bay Area I was able, and still do, to enjoy many fine wines straight from the source. That's not to say I lived in the wine country but the access was always there. As accessible as a drive to the coast. When a good year amounted to stellar bottles coming out, many of them cheap bottles, the wife and I would enjoy some really great wines and pontificate on them. The nose, the color, taste, the source, etc. Well, after moving to Boulder, CO in 2001 we soon picked up on the bourgeoning craft beer scene that surrounded us and still does to this day at an ever-growing pace. I love beer and living on the Front Range has it's advantages for sure. I know the craft beer scene is all over the nation these days but it almost seems factual when I say the BEST beers just may come from where the Rocky Mountains end. Hence the name 'Front Range'. From Fort Collins up north to Colorado Springs down south. And I'll even throw in a review or tasting room experience from the Western Slope where such fine breweries as Ska Brewing come from. 
My goal is to catalog my experiences and the tastes I come across while enjoying craft brews in my surrounding area. Considering how many breweries there are and how many beers are produced I should be able to stay busy for many years to come. I just hope I can maintain the interest. I have confidence considering the subject matter. So I guess this first post is a quick intro as to what my intentions are and hopefully you'll come back once in a while to read up on what I think is good now, where it's available, and any other bits of knowledge I can share. Plenty of photos will be posted whether they be of beer or candids in a tasting room.
cheers
