You like Bud, eh? You gotta stop droppin' hints Scott. :)

Was obviously an industry that takes in grain and makes food product. At first I thought it might be the Frito Lay plant near Bakersfield (just looked like it could be in the Central Valley). Spent quite a while searching the valley.

Then I noticed your little icons. Once I started looking up the major breweries it was easy to find...

Fort Collins, CO

Gotta catch up with Dan! ;)
