Jeff and Elizabeth were in Washington, DC for the week, but got stuck in made a stop in the wonderful city of Denver on their way back. Jeff asked me:
24 hours in Denver, what should we do?
Here’s my quick and dirty short list of things to do in Denver. I’ve tried order it from north to south, west to east, but this is all mostly from memory.

We ended up going to Wynkoop Brewing Company, Denver Chophouse and Brewery, Breckenridge Brewery, Flying Dog Brewery, and Great Divide Brewing Company (in that order, mostly from west to east). We are now back in Seattle, by the way. Thanks for your help!
