点评:During our annual road trip, we change our route to visit Breckenridge Brewery in Littleton, CO. Unfortunately, this time our experience was disappointing. Our favorite beer is the autumn ale, but they had sold out the previous weekend and wouldn’t be tapping new kegs for another week. The fish and chips, however, were still delicious. Our first server/bartender was somewhat rude, but fortunately, the second one was much friendlier. While we were there, we learned that the brewery has been acquired by a new company, which I assume is why there was a limited selection of BB merchandise available. We also found out that BB has ceased production of barrel-aged beer and is no longer packaging Autumn Ale for distribution. Having unique beers is what distinguished BB; when you stop making popular items like barrel-aged brews and fail to package other favorites for retail, such as Autumn Ale, you risk becoming just like any other craft brewery.
