Last year, I dissed on breweries located to the right of our square state, claiming that "there's really no reason to venture any further east." I was soundly admonished. So this year, I'll focus on finding those reasons, starting with ten breweries located east of Colorado whose beer we're willing to stand in line to try.
The beers from these breweries are either hard to find or nonexistent in Colorado, but we've heard so much about them that our one-ounce glasses are already ready.
