    I am thinking of doing a little Elysian- Great Divide head2head. Loser vs. Titan might be a little foreshadowing.

    Since not everyone is into craft beer, and I don't know your budget, I would say fort collins or new belgium from colorado and widmer from washington, since usually non craft drinkers can drink and enjoy them, and craft drinkers as well can enjoy, even if they aren't the 'greatest'.

    I'm sticking 100% to hoppy beers. We all know what hops are a close cousin to...

    Long time Bronco fan. I just use a strict interpretation of location. Saying the Super Bowl is being played in New York would be like saying the Nets still play in New Jersey.

    Elysian, Pike, and Fremont make some good brews. I'd stay away from Fremont's Interuban IPA though, or better just snag a bottle and see if you dig it: it's pretty nasty to me, very fuel-like and harsh. Their Universale Pale is tasty though.

    GO SEAHAWKS!

    For Colorado, anything infused with sour grapes will do. Best they can come up with is emote about being "shocked" at brash young athlete impulsive comments. The Shame of it all!
    They do have pretty good beer though :slight_smile: Worth the drive to Colorado just to snag some Odell. Fortunately only have to drive to Idaho.
    Go Seahawks!

    Agreed. Great Divide has a beer for everyone's taste, and you cannot go wrong. For people who aren't into craft beer, try out Denver Pale Ale or Hibernation Ale. Just some suggestions.

    Are you relying on Cali distribution? Fremont and Black Raven are widely considered to be the two best breweries in the area. Sadlly, Black Raven can be hard to get outside the brewery... Old Schoolhouse, Sound Brewing, Reuben's, No Li, Elysian, Pike, Silver City and Bale Breaker, and too many others to name make good brew too. A good choice might be Dick's 12 Man pale. GO HAWKS!

    If your friends are not big craft drinkers I would go with Fat Tire.

    Enjoy

    Since the Super Bowl is being played in NJ and Met Life Stadium it at Turnpike exit 16 the beer to be drinking is Flying Fish Exit 16.

    I strongly suggest you drink as much beer as it takes ( any beer will do) for you to get so incredibly drunk, that during the half time show you think Bruno Mars is Elvis Presley and the Red Hot Chili Peppers are The Beatles. Too bad they couldn't get Paul and Ringo - half The Beatles for half time. Oh well. There's always the Grammy awards.

    For Seattle go with what @Stugotzo said - Pike's. However, it is kinda weird to me you can't get Elysian.

    Also, you can't go wrong with what @Roguer said.

    However, I'm pretty sure you get Alaskan Brewing Company and Midnight Sun, its not like you have to throw a Smoked Porter or Berserker at your friends who may not be as into beer as you and your other friend. Alaskan IPA, White and Amber are sessionable enough to go with food and are pretty tasty. From Midnight Sun, their Snow Shoe White is pretty sessionable and tasty as well.
