    No shit, I guess now that they took out a 1 million+ bank loan they need to start selling some beer! I know they are going to begin canning next week, they have 155,000 empty Ninja vs Unicorn cans waiting to go.

    So it'll be hard to come by. Holy shit that's a lot of empty cans. Don't even get @end_27 started!

    @Kramerbarthomer side topic. Have you ever had anything from Living the Dream brewing? My buddy Vince moved out to CO to start brewing for them. Was wondering if it was any good.

    No I haven't. It's on the list, a very very long list, of places I need to go check out. There are literally over 100 breweries in the Denver metro area and there are a couple new ones opening up every month too.... Still plenty I haven't been too, but I'll get there one day..

    Not sure why Nick texted me this information but he said that when you do visit Living the Dream to tell them Nicky Pogs sent you and he'll pickup your tab. Nice guy that Pogs!

    It's fun to see how well they're doing. Thanks for being an advocate for them, it's pretty awesome.

    Btw, a little more **** for you tonight. This is a semi blind box I received from @ajaylock after I sent him a JK and Off Color Radiolaria beer he asked about.

    [​IMG]

    Karbach - BA Hellfighter - Want of mine I have been really wanting to try from Texas
    Real Ale - Commissar - RIS that is new and sounds interesting
    JK - Nocturn Chrysalis - This beer is damn tasty and stoked to have one to share with friends!
    Lone Pint - Yellow Rose - couldn't get enough of this when I was down in Houston and couldn't take more back with me so...
    Real Ale - Gose - Perfect time of year for this beer
    Independence - Red Bud - new to me and looking forward to trying it

    Something else not pictured for various reasons... Thanks Ajay!

    One of us must be drunk lol. The last thing I need is a brewery to open a line of credit on me...

    Is it you?! I just got home from work, am having a single beer and hitting the sack. I told Al to keep your credit card on file and have quite tab ran up for the next time you come to town!

    SRS talk I am looking forward to trying a couple of the new unreleased Grrrz variants tomorrow with a couple Locals on draft.

    #VBS. Yes, we still don't get Founders in CO, even though I'm guessing pretty much everyone else in this thread is in their distro. I believe this is courtesy of @jawas ! This is awesome with a little cellar aging. Cheers!

    @Kramerbarthomer

    You ever been to Hogshead??? I met up with @pmoney last time I was in Denver and he took me to that place. A little diamond in the rough if you ask me.

    Should be heading out your way in a few months for work again.

    Yes! If you are in the mood for authentic English style beers, they are absolutely great! I think they fly under the radar because the stuff they brew isn't hopped to the max or a high ABV BA stout... but, they do very good things.

    Hit me up when you're in Denver!

    Whatever you do, don't set up an IP trade then flake. It doesn't turn out that well. I think I read a thread about it a while back.

    For sure!!! The first thing I was told was "if you don't order it off cask, you're doing it wrong"

    Even the pale ale I had on cask was amazing!!
