Out of Bounds Stout....very nice.

Day #1 in Colorado: I toured a brewery. It was quite a trip. Not much to say. The beer is good, the tour was fun, and they have quite a variety.

For the first round, I had the Out of Bounds Stout, and my brother tried the 15th Anniversary Ale. Round Two was Dry-Hopped IPA for me and Hog Heaven Barleywine Ale for him. The third round was The Reverend Belgian-Style Quadruple Ale and the Collaboration Not Litigation Ale.

We probably would have tried more, there was quite a list, but we had to hit the road. We planned a hike in Walker Ranch Park and didn’t want to have to race against dusk. Walker Ranch was pretty nice, the hike was fairly short, just 1.5mi out, but like every trail out here, there was quite a bit of elevation change. Surprisingly, the thin air didn’t get to me as much as I thought it would. Check out the gallery below for a few shots.

The final three shots are from outside my brother’s apartment. Nice view, huh?

Out of Bounds Stout....very nice. Patrick, enjoying round 3 (Collaboration not Litigation Ale) They age some of their brews in spent bourbon, rum, and wine barrels for added flavor and aroma.
