This podcast has been a long time coming. We recorded it a few weeks ago, and thanks to some connection choppiness, Zoom gave us 20 audio files to piece through in order to get you all an episode. It took way too may beers and way too long to edit, so we hope it actually sounds like a coherent stream of content...fingers crossed.

For all you skier types who are hankering to get over to Telluride to go hit the slopes, you should know that Telluride Brewing Co is opening their new ski-in/ski-out Brewpub at Mountain Village with twenty taps, authentic street tacos and beer to go! What better way to end a great day on the slopes than with an unbeatable aprés ski scene that also offers crowlers, six packs, tacos and taco kits for take out?

We had the awesome opportunity to connect with Tommy Thacher, President and Co-Founder of Telluride Brewing Company, so hear it from him about their new venture. We also talked through some of the many cool things that Telluride has going in the pipeline beer-wise, that we should see here in Colorado Springs as well!

Thanks for Listening!
