I’ll be staying in Frisco next week. Obviously will be going to Outer Range and considering making the drive over to Casey. Any other recommendations for breweries? Also curious of any bottle shops worth hitting. Cheers
Basecamp Wine & Spirits is a great bottle shop in Frisco and literally in the same shopping center as ORB. Cooper in Glenwood Springs is also worth a stop if you do decide to visit Casey. As far as other breweries go, I'd consider a stop in Idaho Springs to visit Westbound & Down.
That area has quite a few solid breweries. Baker's, Dillon Dam, Pug's, Broken Compass, etc. Supposedly Angry James is good, but I haven't had anything from them. Cabin Creek in Georgetown has gotten some buzz recently. Westbound is one of the best in the state at the moment. Both of those are on the way via I70. Depending on which route you take or how far off the beaten path you want to go, Eddyline in Buenva Vista is killer and Elevation in Salida is, too. If you make it to Glenwood Springs, the GCB is like drinking beers in the mid 2000's...but they're all elite takes on those old style. They have a wall of medals for nearly everything they make.
