“It takes a lot of beer to make a good wine.” This frequently heard comment is from several winemakers who believe that a good beer can be as satisfying as a good wine. Even if you don’t care for a beer, try a beer tasting.

This weekend there are a couple of beer festivals in Colorado. Now I know that Colorado wineries produce some wonderful wines so perhaps Colorado breweries offer some great beers. Check out these two Colorado festivals: Rails and Ales Brewfest, June 27, 2009, Alamosa, CO and Colorado Brewfest, June 27-28, 2009, Oldtown Fort Collins, Colorado.

While in Wisconsin earlier this month, we toured and tasted beer at Sprecher Milwaukee’s Original Microbrewery. Normally I do not care for beer but at Sprecher there were a couple of beers that I actually enjoyed tasting. Terry enjoyed several other beer tastings after our tour.

No matter where you live consider participating in a beer tasting. Beers do vary in aromas and flavors as wines do. Enjoy the experience.

Have a great weekend!
Cheers! Kathy
