December 2009 - Ourayle House

On my annual homage to Ouray, CO for New Years with the family I got a chance to visit the Ourayle House brewery.

Ourayle House is the tap room for Mr. Grumpy Pants Brewing Company owned and operated by Jim Hutchinson, or Hutch. On the days I visited, they opened around 4 pm and I could tell the wood stove had just been fired up from the frost my breath made as I asked for a beer. It had warmed up to the high 50s by my second beer.
