With Colorado’s unemployment rate of 6.4%, most would think recruiting talent would be easy, but for businesses like restaurants and lodging properties, that’s not the case.
Take the Dillon Dam Brewery as an example. In an email last week, General Manager Kim Nix said she’s very concerned about finding enough employees to serve a 5,600-square-foot guest area as the county tries to reach level green metrics and eliminate capacity restrictions.
“As we get to open more and more, I am very concerned with staffing,” Nix wrote. “We just are not getting the amount of applications in that we used to. I am hopeful that as things open back up more people will want to move here and will be looking for jobs. But with the rent prices so high, most are having trouble finding places to live.

Colorado is known for its high Rocky Mountain peaks, world-class ski resorts, old west towns, and craft breweries. But, recently, the Centennial state has also made a name for itself in the spirits industry. In the past 15 years, more than 100 distilleries have opened their doors, pioneering new flavors, creating spirit-oriented experiences, and proudly calling out the reasons Colorado is such an ideal spot for making hooch.
From the fresh Rocky Mountain water to the high elevation grains, it’s difficult to deny that spirits have a nice flavor profile when grown, distilled, aged, and bottled at more than 5,000 feet elevation.
