Time to recover...oh wait, there's no time for recovery.This week, we get to start celebrating Bristol's 20th Anniversary, as their events get going with their Buses at the Brewery! As always, there's something for everyone, so get on out there and enjoy the amazing beer Colorado Springs has to offer! Maybe we'll see you around!
