With a bevy of craft breweries operating across the state, beer has woven itself into the fabric of Colorado. But how did the beverage become so popular here? History Colorado Center aims to answer that question in “Beer Here! Brewing in the New West,” which opens May 18. Five years in the making, the exhibit explores the state’s 160-year beer history, from its early days in mining town saloons all the way to the more recent explosion of craft beer. “Some of the country’s most storied and innovative breweries are headquartered in Colorado,” History Colorado chief creative director officer Jason Hanson said in a news release, “and we’ve always been leaders in brewing and beverage packaging innovation, including inventing the aluminum can.” But beyond the realm of ales and lagers, “Beer Here!” is an examination of how brews have shadowed Colorado’s growth over the years, said Sam Bock, lead developer of the exhibit.
