We definitely have a bastion of beery goodness out here in the CO. Over 100 breweries and counting. We've had 3 open here in Southern Colorado in the last year, and a handful up in Northern Colorado as well. The economy does not seem to be affecting micro beers.

    But hey, you Cali folk (I lived in SoCal for 5 years and another 22 in NoCal, but have been out here in CO for 6 years now) have some great breweries as well!

    New Belgium Brewing has a pretty big footprint when it comes to distribution. Given time I hope some of the other up and coming bigger breweries (Left Hand, Breckenridge will be able to make it out there. I love New Belgium beer, but they aren't even close to the only game in town. ;)  less

Personal Information

  • Name Eli the Mad Beer Man
  • Twitter EliShayotovich
  • About Me I am a freelance writer specializing in all things craft beer and video games... and whatever else strikes my fancy. I currently write for several beer related websites (and soon to be a few prestigious beer mags). If anyone "Must Love Beer".. it's me.

    My philosophy on beer goes something like this:

    Beer is the elixir of the gods. It's a beverage made of hops, barley and a pantheon of other delicacies that when looked at properly - through beer goggles perhaps - has changed the course of human history. When not imbibing great Colorado craft brews I'm writing about them somewhere on the Interweb.

    Life is too short to drink crappy beer.

    Save the Earth... it's the only planet with beer!

    I am the Director of Content @ Beer Tap TV (http://beertaptv.com) an internet TV station dedicated to all things beer.

    I am the Southern Colorado Beer Examiner (http://www.examiner.com/x-383-Southern-Colorado-Beer-Examiner), focusing on the craft beer scene in Southern Colorado.

    The Beer Bucket List on MOJO135 (http://135.mojohd.com/tagged/confessions-of-beer-geek) is a list of beer bars from around the world that every true beer geek must visit before they kick the bucket.

    I write a personal beer blog called Confessions of a Beer Geek (http://www.confessionsofabeergeek.com) which was recently listed #6 on the Culinary School Guide's Top 100 Beer/Wine blogs.

  • The Truly Vile File
    27 members
    This is the place to warn people of the truly bona fide, thoroughly vile alcoholic malt beverages out there. From Colt 45 to Camo Ice, from Joose to Tilt - if it's available in a tall can or 40 oz, it goes in here.
  • Colorado Craft Brew Consortium

    Beer with altitude! Colorado ain't called the "Napa Valley of the Beer World" for nothing! The Rocky Mountain state:

    Has over 100 microbreweries
    Produces more beer than any other state
    Has won the second most GABF medals
    Is home to the Great American Beer Festival, American Homebrewer's Association and the Brewer's Association
    Might have more beer festivals than any other state

    Why not join the fun!? Come mingle and (virtually) imbibe with fellow craft beer dudes and dudettes!

  • Virtual Craft Beer Tasting Club
    484 members
    This group is designed to share notes about beer, as well as tasting notes and suggestions and get to know beer lovers from all over the globe. Here's the idea: We have themed tasting. In advance, if possible, we will pick a Style of Beer we're going to taste, then we trade tasting notes. The tasting period will be over two weeks so we get an outpouring of related tasting notes, which will spur deep discussions.... Check the Discussion area for what the tasting will be.
