flavorful cuisines prepared by some of today’s hottest chefs. From Bryan Moscatello and Adega to Richard Sandoval and Tamayo,
Denver is gaining a national reputation for its delectable cuisine.

Beer Brewing Capital:
Colorado produces more beer than any other state.
Besides the huge breweries of Coors and Anheuser Busch, the Denver area is filled with micro breweries and brew pubs,
all within walking distance of each other in downtown Denver. A brew pub is a restaurant that brews the beer right on
the premises and serves beer that is generally not found anywhere else.
On any given day, there are fifty beers available
in Denver at small brew pubs that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
Each brew pub offers tours and four ounce samplers that
let you taste the variety of ales, porters, stouts and lagers that they produce. While some of the brew pubs produce what is commonly thought
of as "American" style lagers, most of the beers made are more traditional European and British style ales.
