I am combining my love of craft beer with a great outdoor activity in creating this series. All caches in this series will be within walking distance of a Colorado brewery.

Cache is not at the posted coordinates, but this is a great place to have a cold one and compare notes before finding the final location.

To celebrate my 25th brewery cache, I thought it would be fun to do a mystery cache. I hope you have been paying attention to the containers and logs from the other brewery caches! Starting with Brewery Cache #15, I have written on the first log sheet and placed on the inside of the cap a letter that corresponds to the missing numbers in the coordinates. The final location is one of my favorite breweries.

By now, I hope you have traveled around and enjoyed a few pints at some of the numerous breweries along the front range. To get this cache you will have had to travel to 10 different breweries between Colorado Springs and Littleton. I am making the difficulty and terrain high on this not because of the difficulty in getting this cache, but because of all the travel involved.

Maybe I will do this again for number 50? Maybe Fort Collins and northern Denver?

Final coordinates: N39 AB.CDE W104 FG.HIJ. The container for this one is larger than the other brewery caches and is being started with a trackable. Happy caching and when you find this, toast yourself on an enjoyable journey!

The brewery is located just across the street from the cache.

If anyone is interested in helping me with this series, please message me. I am looking for people in northern and southern Colorado, the mountains and the western part of the state.

Finally got around to finding this one. Quite an interesting tour of breweries! TNLNSL. Thanks for the cache and the series!

Finally! When this first published, I admit I tried to brute force it. I saw the original coords and thought I knew where it might be. I searched and searched... and was wrong. So I then decided to do it the right way. It took a while. I didn't get ALL the feeders, but I got enough to only need to guess on one number.

This puzzle final definitely earns its 4.5/4.5 rating for how far I drove and how hard some of those finds were! And I've been sitting on the solution for far too long given how close this is to me.

Finally I had a chance to search for it this morning. Naturally, while there was still a good amount of snow on the ground. That ended up not impeding my search but given the snow we just had, if I had searched a day or two before, it might not have been a successful search.

Thankfully I started my search in the right spot as I found it fairly quickly. I picked up the TB and will bring it to an event I'm hosting later today.

Thanks for the hide prerules. I appreciate you keeping this cache active for everyone to enjoy.

Caching on a nice December day with HendrickCLan. Wanted to finish the Brewery series and we were successful. Very nice hide for the final. SL and dropped TB

Found today with geoguru1 after a few minutes of searching. Hint was very helpful. It was nice that all of that hard working visiting local breweries finally paid off! SL. TFTC!

COpackrat and I joined forces to get the clues for this one. I was in the area today so we grabbed the final before having lunch. The cache is in great shape. TFTC

Having a beer at my favorite Colorado brewery. Thought I’d check on this one and make sure everything’s fine. It’s still there waiting to be visited.

First off I want to say that this was a awesome and great challenge and hide!! One great thing about this awesome game we play is that we have friends who can join together to get the information we need to get to this final. Since we all live in different parts of town, it only makes sense. What a great and inspiring way to bring all of us geocachers together for a large mission!! As for making the find... well that was not so easy. We first arrived at the GZ and looked for an hour and a half with no luck. We came back later this afternoon with great success!! This definitely earned a favorite point, wish I could give more.

Some may say we are crazy, but this game/hobby is one of the greatest gifts. Who doesn’t love a great scavenger hunt. Hiking, biking or driving hundreds of miles to sign our name on a piece of paper. This brings us a lifetime of joy.

Thanks for placing this cache and keeping our recreation going. SL/with PoshCacher/MagicCacher.Tftc

Group effort to track this one down. Took three visits to ground zero to make the hide. The first two visits I left scratching my head and wondering, “What the heck!?” I wasn’t about to walk away a third time with yet another DNF. Nicely hidden, it’s no wonder I didn’t see it the first two times.

Thanks for a great series and look forward to the next round. Favorite point earned for keeping me coming back.

Some may call me seriously mentally ill. Some may state that I am in a state of mind that prevents social interaction. Some may say I am in a state of mind that prevents normal perception and or behavior. I prefer to say that I tend to do the same thing over and over again, but I expect different results. That being said, I believe we only live one life and I am trying to make the best of it. I thank you, prerules for placing a fun geocache to fuel my "insanity" or addiction as I call it. I appreciate you bringing me here so that I can try and sign my alias on a piece of paper that you have hidden.

I look forward to finding more of your geocaches. I also look forward to potentially finding geocaches with you one day and sharing stories of our insanity... I mean hobby or addiction? Cheers!

Out and about and finding geocaches on a warm and sunny late summer day - this was the last of seven. TN-LN-SL. Thanks !

That was a sneaky final! Found today with Bhob, and we were happy to find a blank log. [FTF]

Cool idea for a series. Picked up the trackable to move along.

Thanks prerules! Logged Colorado Brewery Cache #25 from a ninth galaxy using c:geo!
