This series has been 10 years coming, not that we have been making it for 10 years but that Ben has dreamed of having the connections, time and avenue to create something about the beauty and uniqueness of the Colorado craft beer industry for 10 years. When we got married in 2015 the theme of our wedding was “Love is Brewing” and all our center pieces were growlers collected from our favorite breweries, craft beer has always been a part of our relationship.

So now a decade later getting to step into the craft beer world in a tiny way and use the skills and community we have built to tell a small part of this story feels personal and full circle.

So introducing Episode 1: Passion for Brewing.

We hope you enjoy. . . See the full episode now on thisisnoco.com

What a small mindset shift can do to help us shop local all year long? I know so many of us want to support our local community but often feel stuck with where to start, what businesses are out there and what do they sell. NOCO truly has so many amazing local businesses where you can find everything you need while keeping money right here, and helping a small business owner do a happy dance.

As small business owners Ben and I see every like, share, order and new business partnership personally and we have had many happy dances of our own because each one is a simple show of faith and love for our local community.

We know this is a tiny percentage of the amazing local NOCO businesses, this is not meant to be a comprehensive guide but rather a way to jump start our thinking so that this season and every season to remember why and how to support each other. Because local supporting local has always and I believe will always be the thing that pushes our communities forward.
