BOULDER, COLORADO
Bantam cafeteria-styled MOUNTAIN SUN, the original midtown ‘hippie’ brewpub established October ’93, had a kitsch-y blue-maroon exterior and the same affordable beer-food menu as newer Southern Sun, August ‘07. Beers are listed on green wall board beside painted half-sun murals, Grateful Dead posters, hemp wraps, and exposed pipes (with hop leaf trim). Enjoyed quaffing chewy black chocolate-y vanilla-dipped cappuccino-creamed coffee roasted hop-charred Thunderhead Stout before heading to nearby Redfish.
