Join Jeff Brown, President of Boulder Beer Company (Colorado’s first micro-brewery), for a unique and educational look into the micro-brewing beer industry and how it differs from macro-breweries.  The best part will be sampling various styles of beer and learning how they are made.  After a day spent outdoors paddling and hiking, a cold beer around the campsite sure sounds great.  Don’t worry, we will keep the beer cold!  Adults only.
