Washington: The Men's Room, Elysian Brewing, Seattle
Posted by on Thursday, February 23, 2012 in - leave a comment
I know it says Washington in that headline but the bottle actually says both Seattle and Fort Collins, Colorado. Why can't the label just tell the truth and say that it is bottled at one "or" the other? It's not their fault. They have two facilities but only one label maker. • It poured out …

As we think about what it means to make good beer, we have realized that the truck might well not be the way to enhance your reputation or the quality of the beer. So, it was with some interest that I read this bit about the New Belgium's plans for expansion: • New Belgium sent a team to …

Take over control of society: • They were swilling pints of Hickenlooper's Inaugurale in Denver Tuesday, toasting John Hickenlooper, the former brewpub owner, mayor and now Colorado governor -- a Democrat billed as a bipartisan solution in a purple state... Perhaps he'll follow President Barack …
Colorado: Samuri Rice Ale, Great Divide, Denver

Is this the most important beer I have had in recent years? I don't know. After the embarrassing robotic declarations by American's trendier craft brewers that they will "not... use... rice... not... use... corn..." all I want are Belgian monks to bring out a range of pure alt grain beers that … read more »
Colorado: Fourteen, Avery Brewing Co., Boulder

Well, that's a nice beer, Avery. The label says bottled in 2007 and at 9.46% (also according to the label) it not only has held up well, it is displaying fine form. Rich and mellowed yet still a big bomb. • It pours that beery mahogany we all like so well and sits under a rich thick lace leaving …

By the way, do you like my cinder block studio look for these mid-winter pictures? I realized I had a perfect tiny beer studio on a shelf right next to a light bulb that gives the sharpest photos. In the time of root vegetables for every meal and a drive to and from work in the dark, these things …

A couple of weeks back I started telling you about my Denver pubcrawl. I got about as far as my first day in Denver and my realization that I wasn't going to have any problem finding Fat Tire. The second day of my trip was spent almost exclusively at what turned out to be my favorite Denver pub …
Ellie’s Brown Beer, Avery Brewing, Boulder, CO, USA

Oh man, I love this beer. I was shopping with a friend the other day and grabbed this guy to try, because I have dogs, you know, and there is a dog on the label. (NOTE picture of Buster my black lab mix, and the stein I made with a dog on the side) My friend said he couldn’t get the beer because …

I know very little about the beers of Great Divide Brewing of Denver, Colorado except the little active guy images worked into the font on each label are the first time that I have felt athletically intimidated by a beer. But I am going to suck it up - 'cause there is no gain with no pain - and …
