    Just got a decent pour, it's flat, completely different than I remember it this summer. Picking up a lot of orange peel flavor, as I'm drinking it I've edited this post three times. It's not a good beer right now. They need to do some serious matenance on it IMO

    Taps have been an issue since July.

    That sucks. I used to rent a condo up the street. Their food was never very good but I did drink their DIPA which was great. These stories about backcountry are disheartening. Makes me wish I had a superpower in my hand right now

    Well you can always make the trip down the road to broken compass. Really enjoyed their beers. Don't think they had an IPA that blew me away though... Anybody tried the Odell in cans yet? Stupid Oregon gets no distro

    Was just up in Steamboat and hung out at Butcherknife a bit. I dig their Amputator a lot. Not going to one to rewrite the book or blow you away but it's a really solid beer.

    Also, Freestone Extra Pale and Hoppa Road DIPA from Roaring Fork are baller. All y'all that get out to Casey releases, do yourselves a favor and hit these guys as well.

    That Hoppa Road is really tasty, I was pleasantly surprised and wished I'd brought home an extra bottle.

    I like the Roaring Fork lager, too. Haven't had anything from them that I didn't enjoy.

    Had Freestone Extra Pale Ale a couple times now while in GS. Not a bad beer, but nothing special IMO.

    I am way behind in commenting here, but I just had Station 26 Intergalactic Dingo and Juicy Banger on tap at Powder Keg the other day. Juicy Banger was good, but I really enjoyed Intergalactic Dingo. For a sub 6% pale ale, it was full-bodied, juicy, and flavorful. Looks like I need to get my hands on their cans...

    Intergalactic Dingo is on at the Brewery right now too. You can get growler fills of it at the brewery.

    Love Powder Keg, I grew up in Niwot, wish I could make it up north more often to hit that place up.

    I don't know Powder Keg. I work in Boulder and pass Niwot on my way home. .

    One of two breweries in tiny Niwot. They get really good guest taps and the stuff they brew is solid. I've had a Citra IPA from them that was lovely as well as a Baltic coffee porter that was amazing. Unfortunately they haven't brewed it since I had it a few years back.
