    Still prefer Upslope Craft Lager, over Odell Colorado Lager. It might be time for a blind taste test.

    May have been mentioned before here, but got to Cerebral (Finally, yes, I know) yesterday and I really enjoyed their Character Reference Vienna Lager. So, that and the the "bigger" export version at 7% are both worth a try for this crowd I think.
    Nice.
    Stuff.
    Cheers!

    I love the upslope lager.. I’m also admittedly a homer on this one. Should probably give my first love of craft lagers another try soon though... she never did me wrong

    Do they still make HJ? I haven't seen it in forever, but then again it's probably tucked in with the normal Coors line-up. That one (along with Winterfest, Barmen, and whatnot) used to be one of the best beers coming out of Golden.

    Is Odell phasing out the tallboy six pack of Colorado Lager? I haven't seen that format around much lately; it has been replaced in many stores by the bottles.

    The 15-pack of 12oz cans still looks to be churning most places, though.

    As far as I know, it's still around. We had some at the store a few years back (I used to order quirky stuff from time to time). It sold quickly

    So a bar in Casper has an Upslope Lager on draught called Overtime. The pump handle says brewed exclusively for the Office, the name of the bar. Taste is like Craft Lager but without doing a side by side, I'm not sure.

    Anyone have any insight on this?

    Not sure what’s up with that. I went to the Office’s website and it’s listed as Upslope Craft Lager under their Untappd page.

    Thanks for checking.
    A wee bit of local marketing I reckon. Shrugs.
    Btw, it sells very well.

    I've seen similar things done with Old Chicago before but 1 bar...

    Was bouts to grab some upslope lagers yesterday, but saw Great Divide Lager and grabbed that instead. Very, very nice offering... similar to CO Lager. Highly recommended!

    Haven’t seen that one yet. Just picked up a six pack of Craft Lager. :beer:

    Decided to play diacetyl roulette and picked up a sixer of Prost Pils. They have new packaging, so I'm guessing (praying) it's fresh. The beer did look clear, and all bottles were filled properly (I've found you need to check, lol). Will report back later.

    The pils was solid, but I'm not sure I'd have it over the Elevation pilsner I had the night before.
