I lived in Denver from 1993-2003. I watched LoDo grow up. I watched breweries rise and fall. Now, don't get me wrong, I make it a point to find brew pubs to visit where ever I might be and agree that Portland and Seattle would probably be at the top of my list as places tied for the title of Napa Valley of Beer--with Portland being my favorite for many reasons. But, for Denver, add the fact that Denver and the Brewers Association host the Great American Beer Festival every year... and that may tip the scales to Denver? I am biased.
