The paragraph:<\/p>\n

At other times we think it\u2019s a sort of miracle. That altered landscape we mentioned has, in fact, ended up just about where we need and want it to be, and we\u2019re more often spoiled for choice than disappointed these days. Even bog standard pubs often have something we can get excited about and enjoy, which was rarely the case in 2010.<\/em><\/p>\n

My apologies, because I don’t usually link to the last paragraph of a post, spoiling the ending, so to speak. It’s been more than 40 years since Vince Cottone used the phrase “craft brewery” to describe the dozens of small breweries that were about to alter the US landscape. Most of them are “microbreweries,” making fewer than 15,000 barrels a year.<\/p>\n

The taplist from King of Wings in Golden, Colorado, is not quite up to date but it represents what is on hand every time we go in. The beers are all brewed in Colorado, and except for the ones from Coors (which occupies more land than you can imagine only a few blocks away) they all come from “microbreweries.” The board displaying beers on tap at the King of Wings in Wheat Ridge is from Saturday.<\/p>\n

Things are pretty good here among the trees.<\/p>\n
