Did Elite lose Shelton?

Older JP beers play really well for the most part, so I don't mind them sitting around. However, it is strange to me how very little they are repped around Colorado. That brand has just a ton of potential if there was a bit more salesmanship and support out there for it. It would be a shame to lose it entirely because of this.

 

I have enjoyed everything I have tried from Jolly Pumpkin, yet I have never bought a bottle of their stuff. Only drank their stuff when found on tap. They are one of the few, perhaps even the only, breweries who I like having on our shelves even if I don't buy their stuff. Like having the option I guess.

 

Calabaza Blanca blows Provincial out of the water.
When I had provincial I was depressed at the amount of sour, especially when described as a berlinner Weiss.

 

I like JP a lot; hell, I got a bottle of Dark Dawn a month or so ago for 11 bucks, and it was awesome. I might spring for the full price next time I see it. With that said, I'd say adios to JP in a heartbeat if I never had to look at the dozens of random, gimmicky bottles of 2-year old Mikkeller that are in every bottle shop. The problem is, no one's ever gonna buy a lot of that shit, so I'm still gonna have to look at it.

 

Can't remember what store it was, but just a couple weeks ago I was at a place that had probably 5-6 of the Mikkeller single hop IPA series, they have to be at least 2 years old by now

 

Might need to buy a handful of Jolly Pumpkin bottles if we might be losing it. I take it for granted that we can get 4-5 of their beers almost anywhere at any time

 

I see Stillwater has made it here. Saison geeks should run to get some.

 

Not to say that the ones you saw were anywhere near drinkable, but a new round of those hit not too long ago, and that should be most of what you see out there right now.

 

I hope the Mikkeller guy doesn't read this. All we need is a stale hop series.

 

According to this article, it seems only the bars are getting the bottles? Last couple paragraphs... http://blogs.denverpost.com/beer/20...ter-land-in-colorado-via-crooked-stave/11267/

 

At the bar currently? I know where I'm going for lunch.

 

Tap N Handle on September 10...going to do my best to make it.

 

Between the lines.

 

Let's put it this way. A very, very small amount of Questche made it here. Mile High and Mr. Bs didn't get any. These 4 bars did. Sums it up.

 

I hope not.
