6 The Grand Lake Brewing Company
“We woke to cloudy skies and drizzles…so we loaded our asses in the Jeep and set off on a day long drive exploring the mountains and brewery’s of Northern Colorado…” that’s how 17 June 2009 begins in Johnny’s journal, little did we know as we climbed the icy Ridge Road Trail (U.S. Highway 34) up and over the Rocky Mountains that we were headed into one-year mission "to boldly go where Johnny has not gone before."...as many breweries as he and his Patti Lynn can find in the void of Utah’s nutty alcohol commandments.
Grand Lake took us like a bolt from the blue; we passed up the Kawuneeche Visitor Center on the West side of the park, and headed straight for town. We were ravenous and in search of something to devour…windfall, we got beer with our Super BBQ Chicken pizza. The bar keep was a frickin’ hoot, she gave us the run down of the place, her life and the meaning of being! After ten-8 ounce samplers packed with high octane hops, and a pint of 7 % Stumperjumper IPA, I got to ride in the passenger seat.
