As a homebrewer; lover of flavorful, non-mass produced beers; and seeker of locally-brewed beers whenever I travel, I am saddened to hear that the Aspen Brewing Company may not be able to allow me to fully taste and learn about their beers. I was just at a tour of Lagunitas Brewing Company in Petaluma, California last month and over the course of 3 hours, I consumed on the order of about 8 to 10 different beers while visiting with friends. We learned about the brewery and the styles of beer they make, and we learned what we liked and didn't like about their beer. I probably consumed the equivalent of three 16 oz. beers while visiting the brewery. No television was present in the brewery that I recall. We were too busy learning about the Beer to even care about watching sports. Hopefully the CCD will allow Aspen Brewing Company a similar freedom in letting the public taste all their beers as mature responsible adults. Let's get real with helping a business succeed, and with diversifying the "What to do while in Aspen" scene.
