We hit this one after our Pollock Bench hike, so we were very very thirsty and had the pups with us. Although they didn't serve food, they had a stack of local menus and allowed food to be brought in. We settled for the little buckets of (free) pretzels, and sat outside on the sunny patio. The beer was really good. This one definitely warrants a return trip!

| Little buckets of pretzels complemented the yummy beer. |

| The patio gave Finn plenty of room to do his silly brewery dance. |

| Although you can't see the detail in this photo, all the tap handles were MTB parts! |

Meh. Beer was drinkable. We didn't order food. Inside felt more like a sports bar than a brewery. Most memorable thing was the sign in the women's bathroom. Wouldn't go back unless we were really thirsty and everything else was closed.

| It was beer. The end. |

| This made me want to spend all of my money here. Even if the beer wasn't that good. |
3. Kannah Creek Brewing Company, Grand Junction
Good beer. Great service. It was in the college part of town, so the tables and floor were kind of sticky, but that also meant the prices were reasonable. Doug got the pizza and said it was really good. We also hit it on Firkin' night, which meant they had just tapped a limited run keg - much to Doug's delight, it was an ESB!
4. Edgewater Brewery, Grand Junction
This was a more upscale version of the college-vibe Kannah Creek, and its actually made by the same brewery. There were more beer choices here, though. We went on a Saturday afternoon, so it was pretty busy, but the service was great. We ordered the Fried Cheese Curds appetizer, which was super yummy. The beer was really good. There was a large dog-friendly lawn area, although we didn't have the pups with us. This is a go-again next time we're in town.
