Every Black Friday Beer Release in Colorado Not Named BCBS

Every Black Friday Beer Release in Colorado Not Named BCBS

This year we’re breaking down every major Black Friday beer release happening throughout the Colorado Front Range, as well as a few bonus releases on Wednesday to kick off the Thanksgiving season.
