The 2012 Beerdrinker of the Year

I have been to Wynkoop Brewing Co. in Denver, Colorado a number of times, but didn't know until yesterday that they had been naming a "Beerdrinker of the Year" for the past 16 years.  Qualifying for and winning this title is no small feat, and involves more than just throwing back a few brews each weekend.  The Full Pint put together a piece on this years winner who was crowned on Saturday.  Check it out here.  It looks like it's time to start training for next year's title.  Who's in?

Where, in Colorado, I was!

Where was I this time?  Equinox Brewing of Fort Collins, Colorado.  I was really impressed with this small brewery located in Old Town Fort Collins.  Intimate, welcoming, and frenetic all at the same time, the vibe was young and hip, but anyone could find their place in the cozy interior or their spacious outdoor Beer Garden.  I found myself feeling as though I were a regular patron as I sipped my taster set for the first time.  My reason for going, and in my opinion the standout beer, was the Supergiant Imperial Hefeweizen.  My feeble description of this heavenly brew could never do it justice.  It was huge, luxurious, and left me wanting more.  Much more!  In fact, I was impressed with all of their offerings.  A visit to this brewery will be on my itinerary each time I visit my old stomping grounds from now on.  If you find yourself building a list of breweries to visit on a trip to this ever-growing beer region, I would put this at the top of the list.

I'll let you know tomorrow!
