Colorado - More Than Just Beer
A few weeks ago I shared a post featuring Colorado's best Craft Beers. If you ever find yourself in Western Colorado, you'll be amazed by the various wineries. What about those who prefer whiskey? Well, Colorado has you covered, too.
When Is Something a "Distillery"?
You'll hear people throwing around the term "distillery." What exactly does that imply? According to the website Bad Dog Distillery:
A distillery makes hard alcohol like whiskey, gin, vodka, rum, etc. The process of making distilled spirits starts off much of the same as making beer. We start by combining some basic ingredients such as grains, yeast & water. Of course each product’s recipe varies. The grains breakdown and convert the starches to sugars. With the help of the yeast and enzymes the sugar is converted into alcohol.
For Those Who Love Their Whiskey
Here at the studio, we have an employee whose passion is Bourbon. He lives and breathes all things bourbon. He visits various distilleries around the world and collects their products. What does he want for Christmas? Bourbon. According to firstwefeast.com, whiskey enthusiasts and collectors are often referred to as “anoraks."
What Do These Distilleries Offer?
In addition to their products, many of these Colorado distilleries offer tasting rooms and tours. Some have full-service bars stocked with their products. Some have indoor and outdoor seating. One Colorado distillery on this list has a pet-friendly patio.
