Bring on the Beer
What says , “ it ’ s winter ,” more than snowcapped mountains and powder-dusted evergreens ? We ’ ve been sticking to a theme , in case you couldn ’ t tell , so it should come to no surprise that the location of choice for a good winter beer and a heck of a great time is Avon , Colorado .
Plan your trip here around February 23-25 , when WinterWonderGrass will be in full swing . WinterWonder- Grass is a lively combination of craft beer , winter celebrations , and of course , bluegrass music ( among others ). The beer tents are heated , the bands are insane , and the crowd is lovably bundled in their appropriate winter gear , enjoying all that the festival has to offer .
Listen to hip bands like Railroad Earth , Steep Canyon Rangers , WWG Allstars , Missed the Boat , Elephant Revival , Leftover Salmon , and more . The Beer Hall , or beer tents , include 20 of the absolute best local craft breweries , and naturally , a few cider partners as well .
Brewers include the much-admired Great Divide Brewing Co ., Oskar Blues Brewery , Mockery Brewing Co ., Left Hand Brewing Company , Boulder Beer , Aspen Brewing Company , Bonfire Brewing , Breckenridge Brewery , Storm Peak , and so many others .
Hold onto your tasting cups , and bring on the beer , because these brewers are looking forward to pouring tasting after tasting from 2-5pm daily . Festival packages can be purchased for about $ 100 , depending on what you ’ re looking for . WinterWonderGrass is undoubtedly a favorite among locals and tourists alike , and the atmosphere is a perfect winter location for those who enjoy cold weather and cold beer .
The winter months have their perks , from hot cocoa , to holiday dinners , and gatherings of family . However , for those who remain in touch with their inner “ spirits ”, winter is perfect for relaxing next to a brightly burning fireplace with your favorite libation . Whether you ’ re a fan of straight whisky , a perfectly aged wine , or a frosted mug full of the finest craft brew around , these cold-month merriments will have you wishing the holiday season lasted all year long .
