SP,
You ask if Colorado is receptive to microbrews?
Even up here in Wyoming we can get Boulder Beer, I have had both Breckenridge and Estes Park Beer (Estes Park was particularly good). New Belgian Brewing, makers of "Fat Tire" beer are located in Fort Collins. Plus there are many beer pubs located in the Denver area. The guys in the Southern Part of Colorado will have to answer for their area. We even have a microbrewer, Snake River Brewing, here in Cheyenne who is located in the old UP depot.
I guess that the answer is "yes".
Rick
