The Best Breweries in Colorado Springs
Colorado is undeniably a beer state, and Colorado Springs is a beer city. The Centennial State has been a leader throughout the craft beer revolution — from its emergence out of legalized home-brewing in the 1970s, through its early boom in the ’90s and its exponential growth in the 2010s.

State of Craft Beer 2016
Craft beer finally has a seat at the front of the class, and the rest of the industry is taking notice. Currently, we're seeing the largest year-over-year growth for craft beer, with more breweries in existence than at any other time in U.S. history. The big breweries are responding, with Anheuser-Busch continually adding new craft breweries to its portfolio of "high end" products.
Brew Love: One Ear saison
Alright, alright, I had to find out what One Ear, a naked saison from Trinity Brewing actually tasted like. Were these guys just pulling my chain, knowing my past experiences with Trinity? Or are they telling the truth. It was definitely the latter. One Ear saison is the first foray into 4-packs from Trinity Brewing. Showing off crisp new artwork and eschewing the #KillThePintGlass motto for a more reserved, somewhat mature “Evoke Fermentations,” Trinity is truly upping their game with this release.
An ode to 25 years, with a Fat Tire “Riff Pack” and friends
All joking aside, Fat Tire always comes up in many beer fans’ recollection of how they got into craft beer.

This year's conference was held in Portland, Oregon, and in a "State of the Industry" talk before the keynote presentation, one thing became apparent: Craft beer is getting big. Really big. Here in Colorado, that of course comes as no surprise.

Avery Brewing to Release Tweak Bourbon Barrel-Aged Coffee Beer
Coffee is something that goes pretty much hand in hand with beer. On mornings after a beer festival, a cup of joe is the only thing I ever want to imbibe. It’s no wonder that brewers have been mixing the two for years! Avery Brewing, known for upping the ante with their barrel series beers, have announced they’ll release another humongously strong barrel-aged beer…with coffee.
