Labor Day Beercation 2012, in summary

For the past 14 years, the Husband has played in the annual Motherlode Classic Volleyball tournament in Aspen, Colorado.  Now don't let this fool you, he is by no means a professional volleyball player. He goes with a group of friends and it's mostly just a big party...with a side of volleyball.

The past few years we've tried to use this tradition as an excuse to leave the kids with Grandparents and take a road trip together.  On that note, I present to you a photo re-cap of Beercation 2012 (click here).

Not including beers purchased at bars or restaurants, the breweries we visited and sampled included:
  • Ouray Brewery.  Ouray, Colorado (Husband went before he climbed Mt. Sneffels - before I arrived)
  • Carvers Brewery.  Durango, Colorado (Husband went before I arrived in Durango)
  • Main Street Brewery.  Cortez, New Mexico (purchased bottles to take home)
  • Ska Brewery.  Durango, Colorado
