    Fills are $22 and pints are $6 so your kids had some expensive sodas.

    Wow I seriously got ripped off? They just had 1 soda each. I knew it seemed high. But I let it go . Even sent my wife a message saying I think I just had a $30 growler fill.

    Superpower is $18. They have 5 IPAs on tap at the moment. Is Comrade that good? A hop head should've already been there IMO. Check it out asap.

    They're the best Hop Brewer in the state, and possibly the best low abv Brewer in the country.

    Yes, Comrade is that good. Make a visit your priority, make a day of it and enjoy their entire catalog including copious amounts of Superpower and Honeyman!

    I would agree they are the best hop brewer in the state but defiently not the best low abc brewer on the country! I defiently don't know every brewery in the country but I know I would say degard beats them for the abv side of that

    Honeyman fills are $15 I think. They also have a punch card you can buy for $125 that gets you a fill each month and the glass. It works out well as I get a Superpower each month for basically $10. They also do kegs of everything except Superpower, heck they may be doing those again. You have to buy a disposable keg for $20 though.

    They are what and what with Cannonball as far as hoppy stuff goes imo. I've preferred Cannonballs lately and I go there more often since I work in Golden, but I am a fan of both. What I don't like about Cannonball is that every fill is $22, no matter what you get. I'd like to see the lower abv stuff be cheaper just like I'd like to see Pinner be a few bucks cheaper than Dales. Wish in one hand and shit in the other though.........

    Is Station 26 on these guys level? I haven't ventured out there as I haven't seen the need with these two being in my mix.

    Station 26 is on the level, but availability is more hit and miss. At Comrade there's about a 99.5% change they'll have Superpower when you go. With S26, they will probably have at least one IPA or DIPA, but it might not be the one you want. They have a whole line-up of single hop IPAs that are great, and then might not show up again for months if at all.
    They are planning on canning their Citra IPA, though. That should hopefully fix that problem.

    Ha, totally true... That was presumptuous of me, I was thinking the 'possibly' saved me, but it took minutes to call me out :slight_smile:

    I was in Portland last week and couldn't get my hands on DeGarde anywhere! It was a Boneyard and Barley Browns week for me :slight_smile:

    Honeyman the Sixth was brewed on Friday.

    Honeyman is $14 for a 64oz fill.

    We used to do kegs, but underestimated on how quickly we get our stainless shells back. Had to suspend sales of 1/2 barrels and switch to 20L disposable kegs. Still trying to get a shell back from 12-10-2014.

    I've been frequenting Station 26 lately (gf plays basketball in Stapleton) and between their juicy banger IPA and their double IPA they have on tap I would say it is worth the trip, I'm a huge fan of both of those beers. I'm getting excited to see what their Citra IPA is all about, in talking with one of their staff members they seem to be pretty proud of how that thing turned out when it was on tap so I would love to see it readily available for purchase in cans.

    Awesome! Are you able to provide any spoilers on the hop combo we can look forward to in the Sixth?

    Looks like I'll have to make a trip this weekend to Comrade $14 for a fill is excellent. Never heard of a 20l disposable keg..

    Can't figure out how to quote on my phone. But to the above I don't mind Pinner being the same price as Dales as I think Pinner blows Dales away. Cheers all and thanks for all the feedback

    How much is a 20L keg of Superpower? Would love to have that on tap in my own house....

    I went during the .5% :slight_frown:. And I live on the other side of town so it's hard for me to get over there. Perhaps I'll schedule a trip this week for a growler fill.
