Colorado Brewpubs

 

I'm working on a POI file for Colorado Brewpubs and Microbreweries. Looks like the initial list will be a bit over 100 locations throughout the state. I am using MapSource to create waypoints and then I will save them as a .gpx file for the site.

I have found some omissions and added those I knew about, and there is at least one in the list I have which I know is not there any more. So aside from places I have visited, I can't guarantee perfection. I'm hoping to get some good input from members here to help me clean it up once I get it up for distribution. I have 51 locations done so far, with about 60 more to sort through.

I'll post again when I get it finished and uploaded here.

Microbreweries

Beerme.com is a good site for initial info on breweries.

I'm looking forward to it!

I'm looking forward to it! Cheers!

To get Started...

I'm using brewpubzone.com, but I'll check out Beerme once I get something put together. Brewpubzone has them listed alphabetically by state, so it makes it pretty easy to run through the list for Colorado.

I'm not including the big breweries, like the Budweiser and Coors breweries, nor am I including the larger regional breweries at the moment like New Belgium. My intent is strictly to make it easy to locate and try as many of the smaller brewpubs and microbrewery tap rooms as possible.

Ok... the file has been uploaded

I did include a couple of larger microbreweries as I found info that they include a taproom/tasting room on site. Many of the microbreweries offer tours by appointment. All have at least a taproom or beer garden, the majority are also restaurants.

Again, any errors, additions or deletions are welcomed. I will try to keep an eye on this thread and make any changes as needed. Hope everyone finds this a useful addition to the POI list. grin

New Belgium

I think New Belgium should definitely be included. They have a great tasting room and tour. All free. It's a good time, even for non beer drinkers. They may brew a larger amount than many, but it's still got a small brewery feel and philosophy.

It's probably already on your list, but don't forget my favorite... Oskar Blues in Lyons, CO. They brew the best pale ale you'll ever find in a can! Outstanding food, too.

Both

Both are in the file. cool I also included Odells. Hopefully it will get posted tomorrow by the management.

The file works nicely in my Nuvi 260, so hopefully it is good to go.

Thank you! How do I post

Thank you!

How do I post corrections? I thought I saw somewhere how to submit an updated file, but I can't find it.

I was just scanning through the name tags and noticed:


  • Dostal alley Brewing - is missiing capitalization
  • Hops in Northglenn - isn't named consistently as the other Hopps listings
  • Rock Bottom - name entries are not consistent
  • Tabernash - they closed many years ago (merged with Left Hand in Longmont)
  • Oasis - they closed in the mid-90s.

Good job! Most of my comments are just being picky with names.

I'll have to check out some of those breweries I haven't heard of. Thank you.

Joe... I'll take any you can give me addresses for. I set up the POI's in MapSource and save them as .gpx so it's easy to make corrections.

To Rascal:

I'll make those corrections and update the posted file as soon as I get a chance. I got the information from different websites as well as from DexKnows.com, so I may have not typed the info in the same manner. I'll check it out.

Thanks to both of you. grin
