Is it true nowadays that anywhere you go you’ll find a brewery? Out in the middle of the Rocky Mountains (in the middle of nothing) lies a small western style, gamblin’ city called Central City. So we’re driving back from quite possibly the most epic game of disc golf we’ve ever played (Ghost Town Disc Golf in Russell Gulch) and we’re driving through Central City when Jason spies the words “Brewery” on the side of a building. Naturally, we pull over to debate if we have enough time to go in for a brew and pizza and Jason pulls the keys out of the ignition and runs inside.
So now we’re in Central City, home of the slot machine. It literally seemed like every business (all 10 of them) had some sort of gambling element. This might make a great retirement town for grandmas who are looking to give Atlantic City

I’m pleased to find that this very small brewery/pizza shop has emerged in this city. Craft brewing is a serious growing trend and if you can make it in the middle of a small town in the Rocky Mountains , then serious nods to you! I gave this brewery two out of five stars given how small the brewery is and how when we were there they only had four beers on tap. I had their stout which was acceptable for the style, but it wasn’t anything too glorious.

Jason & Eric... note the computer gambling games on the bar.
According to their website, the brewery started in 1998 and given that they are in such a secluded area, I can see how they only have the capabilities to produce small batches of beer at a time. They have though won a few awards which are posted on their website which is quite impressive. I guess what impresses me the most was finding this gem completely randomly and in a completely unexpected place. Good for you Dostal Alley! Keep on a brewin’!

And if you live in Colorado, you should give them a try (bring your quarters for the slot machines) and play a game of disc golf at Ghost Town.
