I made it through round 2 of my A to Z Denver Breweries Project. Hooray for me!
What is the A to Z Denver Breweries Project?
Well... Back in February of 2015, I was embarrassed by the huge number of Denver Breweries that I had never visited.
It struck me that if I went down the list, the starting letters of the brewery names represented almost every letter of the alphabet. That was when I started my A to Z Denver Breweries Project on this blog.

In some cases, I couldn't find breweries that started with whatever letter I was on, so I took some artistic license, but every letter was represented. Twice.
Round 1 started in March of 2015 and ended in January of 2019. That's almost 4 years. 0.55 breweries per month.
I made it through Round 2 much quicker. It started in February of 2019 and ended earlier this month with Z is for Zuni Street Brewing Company (again). Less than two years. 1.32 breweries per month.
And ... this was even with the T is for ... Time Out (covid shutdown) break we had to take.
I think the main reason I made it through quicker is that the SheppyBrew Beer Model participated more in round 2 and this helped push it along.

And ... there are still a significant number of Denver Area Breweries that I have not visited. So, I am going to start round 3.
I think I even know what breweries I want to visit for A, B, and C already.
As I come across letters that don't have breweries, I'll figure out what to do. Stay tuned and find out how I handle those.
If you want to suggest breweries for any particular letter, leave a comment on this post.
For the record, I use the Colorado Brewery List to figure out what brewery to visit.
Before I finish up this post, I want to mention a couple of breweries that have closed recently. Covid restrictions were not kind to these breweries, and they just couldn't stay open. Let's have a moment of silence for:
There might be others, but these are the ones I know for sure no longer exist. Sad.
Don't forget to check in with Sheppy's Blog: A to Z to see how this project progresses.
Stay healthy everyone! Go Bears!
