Re: Favorite Beer?
As a long term beer snob, I don't usually post about the beer du jour. Variety is all.
But the barrel aged wee heavy scotch at Moonlight in salida (small batch) is pretty exceptional. Actually I think in general they have stepped up their game over the last 6 months, and it was a pretty good game to begin with.

Re: Favorite Beer?
I think the last time I chimed in on this one, I was mentioning a load of craft beers. But that was a few years ago.
Local craft from the Southern Plains: Iron Monk Milk Stout, Stillwater, OK. Holy crap this stuff is good. Not sure you all can get it in CO, but if you can, do it.
Go-to as of late: Hard to beat Shiner Bock, esp w/tacos. Not sorry to say that.

Nope.
I just remember you as the deuce wannabe who got his panties in a wad for being called out. Enjoy that coors while you're claiming to be someone else's sock puppet. Who knows, maybe you can be creative yourself one day.
But I think it unlikely.

Re: Favorite Beer?
Yep. I never denied that. So yes I did that twice as you've alluded, instead of claiming you did in order make yourself look cool. People lacking creativity often do things just like that.Somewhat of a Prick wrote:This is rich, coming from a guy who ran around with an actual sock puppet account(s)
If you decide you want to claim to be Dick and Deuce, let me know. I can send you all the graphic materials you need.
Then you can be half creative instead of halfprick.

Re: Favorite Beer?
Wait, you took that banter with exiled michigander serious? You think I was seriously claiming to be Dueces Wild to try and "look cool"?
hahaha, I don't even know who the hell Dueces Wild is other than reading his name on here a few times and I'm guessing he was before "my time". I don't come on this forum to try and "look cool", I feel sorry for anyone who tries to get cool points from a forum of any sort and especially a hiking forum.
Hell, I don't even know who you are or why you have a grudge against me

But good luck to you and really, if you need those graphic materials, you let me know. I'd be glad to hook you up.

Re: Favorite Beer?
For all my fellow beer-geeks, here's my current list of the best Colorado Breweries. I make one of these every 6 months or so.
The criteria is kind of arbitrary, but some of these are major factors:
Quality of the beers they make
Distribution/availability
Variety of styles they produce
1) Weldwerks - World Class IPAs and Stouts, and now a top-shelf sour to boot.
2) Avery - Reaffirms a high ranking with recently release barrels and botanicals beers
3) Odd13- They are at this point a 1-trick pony, but those IPAs have catapulted them to massive success
4) Black Project- Not only do they make some insanely good American wild ales, but their hoppy beers are getting some notice.
5) Casey- More American wild / sour beers. Still killing it.
6) Cerebral- a relatively new hot brewery, Here Be Monsters, Work from Home, and all their IPAs are killer. Rapidly rising!
7) Epic- Surprising everyone with 3 "epic" new coffee beers, they are killing it. Son of a Baptist 6-packs!
Funkwerks - still killing it, constantly coming out with new beers!
9) Crooked Stave - I would be remiss if I didn't include the sour pioneers
10) Odell- Still coming out with new and interesting stuff, and keeping the quality high
Hot/up and coming:
Outer Range
Station 26
Weldwerks is amazing, and an easy pick for #1

Re: Favorite Beer?
That's a pretty solid list. Weldwerks is easily the best beer in the state, and it's not that close. Wouldn't change much, but as a West coast hop head I'd have to throw Comrade somewhere in there.djkest wrote:For all my fellow beer-geeks, here's my current list of the best Colorado Breweries.
