2012 Best Of Craft Beer in Colorado
It's the middle of the holidays and we've been thinking a lot about all the great beers we've had this year in this beautiful state of Colorado. Thinking back on 2012 there were some great new beers, beer events, and some breweries really shined and made an impression on us. We figured we would give a few shout-outs to some of our favorites. With 160ish breweries in CO, creating these lists is no easy task. We buckled down had a few more beers and compiled lists of some of our favorites and weighed our results together. We know we have left out some fantastic beers and brewers off these lists. You'll see some lists are a top 1-10 or top 1-5, that's because we started out trying to go top 1-5 for all of them, but there is a lot of fermented gold in this state so we just had to lengthen the list. So here you go:
