Now I know that Colorado wineries produce some wonderful wines so perhaps Colorado breweries offer some great beers. Check out these two Colorado festivals: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.riograndescenicrailroad.com\/Colorado-Train-Calendar.html\">Rails and Ales Brewfest<\/a>, June 27, 2009, Alamosa, CO and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.downtownfortcollins.com\/festivals.php\/brewfest\">Colorado Brewfest<\/a>, June 27-28, 2009, Oldtown Fort Collins, Colorado. <\/p>\n<p>While in Wisconsin earlier this month, we toured and tasted beer at <a href=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/wisconsin\/sprecher.php\">Sprecher<\/a> Milwaukee&#8217;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. <\/p>\n<p>No matter where you live consider participating in a beer tasting. Beers do vary in aromas and flavors as wines do. Enjoy the experience.<\/p>\n<p>Have a great weekend!<br \/>\nCheers!
