It is no longer news that Colorado is home to the craft distillery surge.  In communities throughout the state, local small business owners are creating some of the finest spirits in the nation.  Farm-to-bar is the newest trend. People are loving that they can enjoy using homegrown ingredients by incorporating them into unique but fresh cocktails.   Why are distilleries so popular in Colorado? We have a unique blend of rich soil, a wide variety of terrain and a great set of micro-climates. The diversity of our landscape in CO is allowing farmers to grow grain for beer and spirits and grapes for wines and full-flavored fruit for brandies. Warm days and cool nights make the aging process pristine.   This industry is full of entrepreneurs that want to be conscious about waste-not production cycles, using local products and the use of shared barrels. This make the industry appealing for those in it and the consumers of it.   Here is a guide and app for Colorado dining, wineries, distilleries and more.   This is what All Access Insurance brings to the table for local distilleries.
