Beer Drinking Habits
by MainstreetAmerican
When it comes to beer, Durango is the place. Durango has many micro-breweries making and serving a wide variety of brews. If you like beer do not visit Durango without trying a few of its local flavors. I suggest Ska Brewing Co (most local restaurants and all local liquor stores carry varieties of Ska). If you get a chance stop by their brewery and tasting room. My faves of Ska are Buster Nut Brown and True Blonde. Other brands to try are Durango Brewing Company, Steamworks Brewing Company and Carver's Brewing Company. The locals typically drink the local beer.

I hope you never fear those mountains
In the distance
Never settle for the path
of least resistance.
Living might mean taking chances,
but they're worth taking.
Loving might be a mistake,
but its worth making.

A picture perfect November morning, as seen from the top of Animas mountain. Clear skies extend for miles, broken only by the whitecapped San Juans, which received a fresh dusting of powder the day before.

"Part of the old west"
If you come to Colorado, try to visit Durango. You can visit Mesa Verde and Silverton the old mining town situated high in the mountains. Check into riding the steam locomotive railroad up to Silverton and back. This trip takes most of the day.
Mesa Verde will also take a full day for a visit.

DURANGO http://www.durango.org/
Established in 1881 as a frontier-mining town, Durango is close to the Four Corners area, where Utah, New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona meet. Breathtaking beauty, ranches, rolling hills and friendly people know their real gold is in scenery with year-round recreation such as: skiing, hiking, camping, fishing, rafting, kayaking and cycling. Watch for street fairs, musicians and art festivals.
Durango has several beautiful turn-of-the-century restored hotels complete with antique furnishings for get-aways.
