A Mile-High Tour of Craft Beer
To say that Denver is a mecca for craft beer and brew aficianados would be a huge understatement. The number of breweries in the city has doubled from 2013 to 2014 alone.
Denver Beer Company. The taproom for Denver Beer Company is nestled on the Platte River. Grab a seat on the patio and sample rotating draft specials such as Admiral Ackbar's Apricot Ale or Graham Cracker Porter. Warm pretzels complement your drink or purchase something more substantial to eat from one of the food trucks parked outside.
Wynkoop Brewing Company. In 1988, this LoDo brewery and restaurant was founded by none other than Denver's current governor, John Hickenlooper, who recently brought President Obama here for a pint. Because it was the first brewpub in Denver, it's a must-visit.
Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project. Specializing in sour beers brewed in a variety of wine and spirit barrels, the taproom is located inside The Source, a wonderful collective of 15 food and cocktail retailers inside a revamped 1880s machine hall on Brighton Boulevard.

Forecasting Your Denver Vacation
Famous for having 300 days of sunshine annually, Denver's climate is much more mild than what you'll find in Colorado's high country. In fact, the city's weather can vary greatly from what's happening in mountain towns and is often more akin to its Southwestern neighbors. Summers are hot but not extreme, winters are snowy but not frigid and spring and fall are beautifully mild. One thing Denver shares with its alpine brethren is unpredictability. Dress in layers and be prepared for sudden changes, especially in spring, which traditionally gets the most snow.
