It would be nice if F9 would highlight more Colorado and Wisconsin food and drink, but if I was, say, Usinger's or Sprecher Brewery (sorry I don't know Colorado examples) I would be knocking on F9's door to see if they wanted to carry my product. (That Dietz and Watson sandwich looks good BTW!)
Fat Tire is a Colorado based beer. I agree that I like when they support "local" companies on their flights. I bet Sprecher root beer would be a hit but I don't think it comes in cans.
