Step into our exhibit Beer Here! by attending this On-Tap Talk with author and Colorado Book Award finalist Ed Sealover. Ed Sealover's 2016 "Colorado Excursions with History, Hikes and Hops," guided visitors on a 30-day tour of the Centennial State, stopping daily at one historical site, one natural site and one drinking site. In this presentation, Sealover explains how today's traveler can dive into the state's history at both familiar and off-the-beaten-path locations while also drinking in the state's brewing culture. Bring a notepad and a thirst — your road trip awaits you.

Bio: Ed Sealover spent 20 years writing about beer for the Denver Business Journal and the Colorado Springs Gazette and is the author of two books: "Colorado Excursions with History, Hikes and Hops" and "Mountain Brew: A Guide to Colorado's Breweries." A chronicler of the craft-beer industry since it was known as the "microbrew industry," he won 140 awards over the course of a 28-year career in journalism, including the 2020 Journalist of the Year award from Colorado's Society of Professional Journalists for his coverage of the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on the business community. He lives in Wheat Ridge with his wife and two children and still explores both historical sites and breweries.
