Brewery Crawl:

There are so many breweries in downtown Denver and the surrounding area. Some of our favorites are

16th Street Mall:

In the heart of downtown there’s a street where only the trolley can drive down and back. Many seasonal events are held in this area. There’s a mix of restaurants, bars and stores although most the stores are chains…

Boulder:

This is a college town on the side of the mountains. It’s what you’d expect in a beautiful mountainside town…

How to Get there: Public transportation (light rail & bus) or car. Depending on whether you rented a car or how much you plan to drink, there are a few options.

Pearl Street Mall:

This walkable, outdoor mall features a wide main strip without car access. There’s fountains, shops, restaurants, bars, breweries & more.

Hiking Trails:

There are a few trailheads near boulder so if you like the outdoors thats always fun.
** Pizza Station for a cheap, yet delicious slide of pizza. (More like 1/4 a pizza…)

Estes Park:

This Colorado mountain town is past Boulder, about 2 hours from Denver. There’s a small downtown strip and multiple hiking trails nearby.
Although it’s a small town, there’s still fun things to do!

Blackhawk:

If you like to gamble, be sure to visit Blackhawk. It’s an enclave of casinos hidden in the mountains where you can spend the weekend gambling. There’s also beautiful views surrounding the buildings and on the drive up. Colorado mountains for sure!

Idaho Springs:

This tiny town is nestled between mountains for a dramatic backdrop. There’s tons of local shops to visit, selling local creations from Coloradans. You can find jewelry, clothing, decor and other handmade items.

Multiple breweries are located in this small street, more than enough for An afternoon of adventuring. It’s right off the highway too so you can’t get lost…
