This article was updated on January 4, 2016 at 3:45pm to reflect more 2015 brewery openings shared by our readers. Thanks for your contributions!*

If you live in Colorado you may feel like a new brewery springs up about every week… and you would be right!

In 2015, at least 52 new breweries in the Centennial State launched and four breweries added a new or additional location.

For these 56 craft brewing locations, all except for eight launched along the Front Range.* So if you are traveling around Colorado, you can stop by these newer breweries:

• 4B’s Brewery in Cedaredge (SE of Grand Junction)
• Baker’s Brewery in Silverthorne
• Golden Block Brewery in Silverton
• High Alpine Brewing Company in Gunnison
• Periodic Brewing Company in Leadville
• Vail Brewing Company in Vail
• Westbound & Down Brewing Company in Idaho Springs
• Yampa Valley Brewing Company in Hayden (in between Craig and Steamboat Springs)

The largest number of Colorado brewery openings occurred in Denver County. By our estimations, Denver County contains nearly one of every five craft breweries in the state.

Larimer County had the second most craft brewery openings with eight, including two in Estes Park. El Paso County followed Larimer County with the most new brewery openings in 2015 with six while Boulder County had five.

The last quarter of 2015 saw a little over of 30 percent of the Colorado craft breweries open (17) while the least amount of openings (11) occurred between April and June, about 20 percent.

It seems like no matter where you are in Colorado, you are always guaranteed that you are not too far from a new craft pint!
