Since the discussion has changed to beer, I thought I would promote
Butte's Quarry Brewing. It is a tasting room (48 oz limit per customer).
The Rocky Mountain Brewery in Anaconda closed last year. One more reason
to skip the Anaconda cutoff and checkout the new trails around
Butte.<br><br>

I think this web site lists more breweries than the one Paul sent
out.<br><br>

Creede has many options for beer and a burger. I like Kip's Grill,
which is next to the laundry. <br>
<br>
I didn't know Avery had a brew pub. They do put up with geeks who
find their brewery. <br>
<br>
Steamboat had a brewpub last summer. They had tapas at happy
hour. There has always been an average to below average brewpub in
Steamboat or the ski lodge. There has been some turnover over the
years. So, if the old one has closed, look for the new one.
<br>
<br>
Also, brewpubs in Silver City, NM (the number one problem with the Wolf
Route), Lander, WY, and Helina, MT. <br>
<br>
Leadville, CO and Pinedale, WY have brewpubs that have gone from poor to
only a little below average. Even Mags likes the Pb'vlle hostel,
however, it is not a necessary stop between Twin Lakes, and Frisco.<br>

How come nobody has posted the link for Cookie and Paul's 2008

with a beer is just pure nirvana. Tommy Knockers was the place IIRC. Not
a brewpub, but a good quasi-locals place. Had pool tables! Music! A real
bar! They DO NOT sell freakin' Texas souvenirs in this place. :) (When
you get to Creede or Lake City, you'll see what I mean!)<br>
