Discover the brewing history of the Two Mile High City!
Leadville began as a mountainous mining community and was home to number of different brewhouses, few of which lasted more than a couple of years in Colorado. After the town nearly disappeared when the mines closed, locals reinvented the area as an outdoor paradise for adventure lovers. Brewing picked up again in the 21st century even though the elevation causes some major challenges. Home to Periodic Brewery until its closure in 2020, Two Mile Brewing Company is now the only local beer in town and holds the title of America's highest elevated brewery.
Suggested beers when visiting: Those Who Wheat (Two Mile).
Information for this episode comes from the Leadville Herald and Westword.
