Colorado brewpub named best in the country

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 18:55:34 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — USA Today's 10 Best readers voted for the best brewpubs in the country, and a Colorado location made the number one spot. The highest-voted brewpub in America is the Stronghouse Brew Pub, which is one of the last intact buildings in Telluride's Four Corners. Built in 1892, there's still a rustic feel to the place, except it pours beer now instead of storage for goods from the Rio Grande Southern Railway, according to its website. The building went through many business owners before landing in the Stronghouse Preservation hands in 2020 and renovating it into a brewpub. While the business is fairly new, there's a brass cash register that dates back to 1909, according to its website.The beer's made on-site and ranges from ales, stouts, IPAs and sours along with cocktails, draft kombucha and seasonal non-alcoholic beer. Based on Google Reviews, the food is a huge part of the experience as well. While the menu seems like normal bar food, the reviews suggest different."I ...

Block after block was nothing but rubble and blackened foundations, including along famous Front Street, where tourists shopped and dined just days ago.

Josh Green told The Associated Press. More than 1,000 structures were destroyed by fires that were still burning, he said.Already the state’s deadlie...
