Favorite Colorado IPAs?

Yep. @wordupmagazine is right. About 50 left. I'm going to drink it all in the next week if you don't buy it.

 

I'll be there Thursday with some out of town friends. Save us some!

 

Stopped by Cerebral today while running some errands. Cool spot and for the IPA people, I believe 3/4 of their tap list was a hop beer of some variety....

I tried pours of Strange Claw and Destruct Sequence. I liked Strange Claw quite a bit for a haze bomb. Destruct Sequence was a well-built beer and super unique (with lots of melon notes) but something about it wasn't really my jam. Curious to hear what others think about it.

 

Big fan of the DS... tap and handle has had it on for about a week and I just can't get enough of it. Easily one of my favorite beers of the year!

 

Tried some good IPAs this weekend. Tried Rustic Ways and a few others at Outer Range, and brought a case home with me. IMO, Rustic Ways cans taste just a touch better than draft.

At Weldwerks finally got to try Alpha Bots, Fantastic, Coffee Bits (weird, not bad), and Blood Orange Creamsickle Fruity Bits.

Blood Orange creamsickle was interesting, didn't much like it at first but as it warmed a little bit the flavors really came out.

 

Not an IPA, but this batch of Hop Wizard is fucking great. I've drank through a case and I hardly ever do that with one beer.

 

I'm surprised to say that the new Crooked Stave IPA that just hit the shelves in cans is fucking fantastic!

I have not tried the IIPA.

 

Stoked for it!

 

Canned Trellis is killer.

 

Perhaps I missed something, but since when did Crooked Stave diverge from being sour focused?

 

They've always been BRETT focused. Maybe a year or so ago they started doing taproom clean beer releases. The IPAs are incredible. Im really excited for this.

 

This round of cans is the first round of clean stuff they've released outside of kegs.

 

Was coming thru greely so stopped for ddh galaxy and coffee bits but when I saw that the date on puesto six packs it was 4/7 it made me irritable ..,bought juicy bits also but why sell old from brewery .

 

Another thumbs up for the Crooked Stave IPA. This is good stuff.

 

Puesta Del Sol, I wouldn't be overly concerned being 4 months old, especially since it was kept refridgerated the whole time and it's not what I'd call a hoppy beer.

Side note, I've noticed that all the Odell Brews I've been looking at lately have been Undated, and because of that I've stopped purchasing Odell 6-packs. What's up with that? Dating is kind of important, especially because there is a shop here in the Springs that is notorious for trying to sell year old + old beer at full price (and sometimes a markup).

 

I am just going to add to the Chorus that Crooked Stave IPA is fantastic. It's pretty hazy, but not really turbid.

 

Heading over to Cerebral right now for some DDH Rare Trait. Anyone try this yet?

 

Hope you got there before crowlers were gone

 

I didn't make it in time but a friend picked one up for me earlier. That'll suffice since I'll be heading up to a WeldWerks tomorrow and they're gonna take all of my money anyway.

 

Is the Crooked stave a normal or Brett IPA? I don't care for Brett IPAs at all.
