    Cannonball Creek's Project Alpha #4 is my favorite Colorado IPA on tap right now. Citra and Mosaic. So damn good.

    Someone want to grab me a growler of that Alpha 4? I can't make it out there. I'm sure I've got a beer or two I can throw in while also paying the $$ for the growler and fill

    Had one of those too,also the lemondrop wheat which is also semi IPA-ish.

    In fact didn't get around to a Superpower until growler time.

    Anyone have anything to say about Denver Beer Co.'s Tandem Pedal Double IPA? (Mosaic, Nelson and Cascade)

    I really enjoyed the Incredible Pedal out of the can (Nelson)

    Another couple of thumbs up for Honeyman... that beer is just soooooo pleasing.
    I took the DBC Tandem home last night, but didn't crack it yet.
    Maybe tonight.

    This is a great IPA, slightly better than Superpower which grows on me every time I drink it.

    I will say I think Superpower is better but not by much, I too downed a growler of PJ #4 last week (among a few other jems).....was super hungover the next day and couldn't go to a wedding with my gf (totally worth it).

    Haven't gotten my hands on Project Alpha 4 yet, but had a pale ale at Cannonball Creek that was one of the best I've ever had.

    That Featherweight Pale Ale is a great session beer. Crazy hoppy for a just an APA.

    Well you guys are forcefully making me need to go to Cannonball Creek. Never been there before but I guess it's time.

    How many IPAs and Pale Ales do they usually have on tap at any given moment?

    I guess the Alpha #4 is gone. Their regular IPA did nothing for me, but I do need to pick up a growler of Featherweight and give that a try.

    You can check their website before rolling out there.

    The brewmaster at Cannonball Creek was responsible for Hop Vivant (Mountain Sun), which was a former Alpha King winner in 2009, too.
