More photos from the road

More photos.
Not the clearest shot, but it's another one of me. This time in front of the Negro League Baseball Museum.
After leaving the museum I took a loooong drive across Kansas into...
As an added bonus I was treated to a huge rainbow right across the Colorado border as I was fueling up.
My first order of business in CO? Gotta tour the Coors brewery, of course.

There really wasn't much more beyond that. A couple of shots of the bottling line. Overall the Coors tour was probably the most boring of all the tours that I've been on. At least they had a good selection in the tasting room at the end.

I more than made up for it yesterday though. Yesterday I headed up to Ft. Collins from Denver so that I could enjoy the tasty brews at the New Belgium brewery.
Some of the ingredients that go into NB brews.

These casks are holding La Folie as it ages. Easily one of my new favorites from NB. I even landed the contact info for the Socal distributors so that I can get a hold of some when I get home.
Can't forget the slide. We got to ride it down at the end of the tour.
One of the Mash Tuns.
More of the containers.

After New Belgium I checked out another local Ft Collins brewery today, the Odell brewery. Unfortunately, this stuff isn't distributed in CA because it's not pasturized. Without pasturization, the shelf life is pretty short and the beer wouldn't be as good by the time it got there. They sure have a lot up on the shelf though.
A shot from outside.
After Odell I hit the road and got some scenic shots of Colorado.

Entered Wyoming for a bit...
Before making my way into Utah for the night.

From here it's on to Sacramento tomorrow. Not sure what kind of timeline I'll be working with. All I know is that the Dodgers play the Giants in about a week, and I want to be around for that.
