Favorite Colorado IPAs?

Applejack is RIGHT off of I-70

 

I stopped trying to get it at the store, it's just too difficult. I just go to falling rock (They have it on tap a lot), or If I want a good bomber I'll buy Maharaja.

 

Add in Choice City and I do the same. I really don't enjoy being that guy and asking for beers at stores. If I can't find it on a shelf, I'm not going to get it- that's fine by me.

 

Has anyone tried Odell Barrel Thief yet? I just don't understand why you would want a barrel aged IPA, but then again, Odell usually does me right.

 

That's the batch we got last week

 

Funny you mention Mountain Sun because I actually had some Hop Vivant at the Vine Street location last week. That is such a good beer...it ranks way up there for me.

And I used like the other Mountain Sun hoppy beers, e.g., XXX and FYIPA (or, if I'm feeling saucy, the "FYX" or "Crippler" mixtures) but I don't drink them as much any more.

 

Vivant is up near the top for sure. I just can't have one, cuz then I'll have three and start to get "feely"

 

And then the jello wrestling follows?

 

Good god! I'm drinking the Citra Hop Savant and it's fucking glorious!

 

Small Batch is an awesome place, great employee's too.

 

heading in to small batch right when i get into town. Thanks everybody!

 

@Norvelljeff - Pliny landed at Argonaut today. Should have no problem getting it. Just ask for it. 2 bottle limit usually

 

even at 8pm tonight? Flight lands at 6:55pm and planning on heading stright there.

 

Mmmmm probably. I'm going to stop by and get a couple. If they are out when you stop by, PM me. I could meet you at Small Batch. I live pretty close.

P.S. - You better be a Hawks fan

 

That would be awesome!

You know it, lived in Iowa City for 4 years!

 

Just picked one up at Small Batch, excited to see what it's all about!

 

Something to keep in mind with Hop Savant - it isn't necessarily sour in a traditional sense. It's just a brett IPA.
For the folks truly crazing a sour IPA or dry-hopped sour - Progenitor is the beer you seek.
That said, I love Hop Savant. All of the versions.

 

Honest question, is Progenitor the same recipe as Batch 60, or just similar?

 

Not sure. It has to be at least fairly close, though. There are a few CS employees and people in the know that drop in here and there. Maybe they can answer. I just know that I like both very much. Progenitor Noir, too.
