Among the scenic Rocky Mountains, top-class ski resorts, river rafting, hiking and almost any kind of outdoor activity you can think of, Colorado is known for its craft beer. It’s a billion dollar business in the state, home to more than 140 craft breweries. It’s a beer lover’s dreamland, and the tours offered give an experience you won’t forget no matter how much you’ve had to drink. If you’re coming from lower elevation, drink as much water as you are drinking beer. The elevation can make everything sneak up on you.
