Breckenridge Brewery and Pub, Denver, CO

Since we had the shuttle for later, we figured we could have another
beer or two, so we set out to Breckenridge to try the vanilla porter
and their small batch beers.

We got the 471 Extra ESB, which had an interesting savory flavor to it
(umami anyone?) but had a super bitter long finish, very appropriate
for the style. The vanilla porter was one of the best porters we've
had and was exactly what we expected: nice and roasty with coffee and
nuts, and goes down with a super sweet vanilla finish. It almost
tasted like chugging vanilla extract, which may be too much for some,
but we loved it.

After splitting a delicious bison burger with our beers, we headed
back to the hotel to rest up before the long drive through the Midwest
on Sunday.

Overall, a great few days in Colorado and we'll definity be back.
We're already in Iowa as we write this, but we'll send another update
once we get back to civilization (i.e. Chicago). We didn't feel the
need to post a picture since we're pretty sure you all know what a
corn field looks like. Talk to you from Goose Island.
