A Spring Break Discovery

Unlike many students who head to a sunny beach for Spring Break, I did the opposite and traded in the beach for snow. My boyfriend, my friends and I, packed up our cars and headed to Pagosa Springs, Colorado. We also brought a special travel companion along – our puppy, Tank.

Tank--riding in luxury!
After 14  hours on the road, we arrived in Pagosa and it was absolutely beautiful!

The cabin we stood in provided a beautiful view of the Rocky Mountains and the weather at Wolf Creek Mountain was perfect.
Amazing View!

Everything about our trip was wonderful, but one of the best things we discovered while in Colorado was a local brewery. Tired of cooking our own meals in the cabin, our group decided to go into town for dinner. Pagosa is a small town with a population of about 1,500, so there were very few restaurant options. We were recommended Pagosa Brewing Co. so we decided to check it out. http://www.pagosabrewing.com/

The small log cabin with a silver trailer attached to the side, has some of the best food and beer I have ever had! Pagosa Brewing Co. offers fifteen housed brewed, national award-winning beers and a tasty menu that includes salmon fish & chips, gourmet pizzas and bison burgers.

Needless to say, we went back three times throughout the week and I almost got to taste the entire menu.

My favorite PBC item had to be the sampler tray. For only $5, you can tour the brewery and sample each of the fifteen beers. (The best $5 I have ever spent.)  I even bought a mini-keg of the Pagosa Brew Ale to bring home with me – it was that good!

The next time you find yourself in Colorado, you must make a trip to Pagosa Brewing Co. it was the best thing I discovered this Spring Break!
