Mancos Brewing Company — Restaurant in Mancos

Stopped by after a morning in Mesa Verde. Mid-afternoon, so it wasn’t busy. Clouds rolled in with a light shower so they had the doors and windows open and it was cool and slightly windy.

We'd enjoyed their helles and blond in cans at a restaurant in Mesa Verde, but they were both even better on tap. Add in the unexpected visit by a gorgeous Bullock's oriole (as determined by us, a table of locals, and Google) at the window hummingbird feeder and the sweet tune played on the piano by a young man who sat down for one song on his way out to the rest room, and you have one of those perfect restaurant experiences that sometimes just...
