Box Canyon Lodge & Hot Springs, Ouray CO
It was rumors of gold that brought people to Ouray in the 1870’s. The same rumor brought me here, but in search of a different kind of gold. This gold is in the heart of the community, the scenery and the experience of Ouray. I realized I struck a gold mine after meeting Karen Avery,…

Brewery tours seem to become, well brewery tours. You learn the four main ingredients, water, barley, yeast and hops…already your thoughts too have hopped to the final step, the sampling.
