Asking any Beer Friend what their favorite brewery is has proven to be a dangerous endeavor. Expect hours of conversation as the Beer Friend presents information and opines about the brewery and it’s beer, then retracts some of the more outlandish statements, and then may even pass out from beer conversation overload. Once he wakes up and has a coffee, ask what his top five are and you’ll be much better off. In this Beer Friends top five is Bristol Brewing Company in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. day! Please take some time to reflect on all our freedoms and values today – what people have fought for us and continue to fight today. Many of the Beer Friends get involved in social issues on their own time and we encourage you to as well.
