The First 100

So. Without fanfare or celebration, I bring you the first 100. Many of these can be found in the Napa of Beer Region of the US. Yes, I'm speaking of the Front Range of Colorado. The cities of Ft. Collins, Longmont, Boulder, Denver, and Colorado Springs. I am partial to the Northern part- cause I live there- and so the majority of the beers that come to mind are local craft breweries. Very local. Like, ya know, within 10 miles of my house...

I'll start with the big 2 and build from there...

New Belgium Brewing- Ft. Collins. I could say so much, I will leave it for another time.
