I really enjoy Ubu Ale, 7%, rich brown color and smooth :)

Uncorked a bottle of Elevation Beer Co. (Poncha Springs, CO) Signal de Botrange on Saturday, my friends loved it and were wishing I had brought back a lot more from my recent visit to the brewery.

Now, now, Bill. Let's not be beer snobs. [-X

You see, Bill, beer is like women. Everyone likes to brag about the favorites they've had, but we all, secretly, have an appreciation for the cheap and readily available.

And I like Coors because it's easy to make at home. All you need, is a can of budweiser and some tap water!

I am a serious hop head. IPA, Pale Ales, Extra Pale Ales, Belgian Style Ales are usually what I order everywhere. My favorite is usually the O'Dells IPA, however there is nothing like seeing something on a menu you have never seen or heard of and ordering it.

A great place to do that in is the Cheeky Monk and if you have not been to any of the Cheeky Monk locations I highly recommend visiting. They have beer, on tap and bottled, that will change your life.

When I was out climbing a month ago. I stopped in at the True Grit Cafe. I tried the Silverton Gold Lager. Man is that good. So... I called the brewry to see if they could ship me some home in cans or bottles. NOT!!! So I got to wait for another trip. Two thumbs up.

I don't think I could pick a favorite. Depends on the mood, season, etc.

A common go to for me is Ten Fidy. And its nice that it's in a can so I can take it on hikes: http://craftbeersummits.tumblr.com/tagged/ten-fidy :)

So many local breweries doing good things too: Dry Dock, Crooked Stave, Great Divide, River North. I want a beer now.
