Brewery Hop in Denver Colorado - Near Empower Field at Mile High Stadium & Sloan Lake

In Colorado, we love our sports teams! We love our Broncos, Avalanche, Nuggets and Rockies!  And, with an average of 300 days of sunshine in Denver each year, a day at the Bronco's football stadium or Rockies baseball field is always great time. Though many people enjoy tailgating before a game, we enjoy a brewery hop before or after a game. While you are in Denver, attend an athletic event and also check out a few craft breweries within a short drive of Empower field at Mile High.
