Colorado Man Visits Every Brewery in the State. Wanna Be Like Him?
A guy by the name of Paul Myhill decided to take his love of drinking beer with friends and up level it by hitting all of the breweries in Colorado within a year.
According to TheDenverChannel.com:
“[He] hit 5 breweries (in a day) and we said, ‘What if we do 30 in 30 days?’ Ended up doing that in a week. So the goal got upped to 100 in 100 days, did that in a month. So 365 in 365 days?” Myhill recounted. “Then I said, ‘OK, I’m gonna do them all.’”
He ended up taking a trek to a brewery every day after work and getting a flight of beers (where you get smaller samples of several brews).
He ended up at 467 breweries within a year.
You don't have to be THAT hard core of a beer lover to have a great time enjoying beer in the Quad Cities. You can simply choose to hit every brewery in the Quad Cities and that would be an incredible commitment to good beer.
