    Been doing a bunch of searching and creating lists for a Denver trip this coming weekend. One thing I cant find is a definite answer on special brewed for gabf beers available in bars in the Denver area. Is this even a thing? I was hoping maybe it is a thing and I'd be able to try some cool stuff that might, maybe, hopefully be around by Friday. Anyone know?

    There were a TON of special brews, but I don't know of any that are still around town on tap.

    A few places have bells on tap still, world of beer had bourbon abominable and a few other things from their csa takeover. I don't think I've seen much else that I would consider out of the ordinary though.

    Ok, question answered thank you. Unrelated but how bad is construction headed north on 87 out of Denver? Google maps seems very concerned.

    Might be too late, but Colorado Plus is having a Colorado Gold Medal tapping on 10/24. I believe they're trying to get all Colorado medal winners on tap from 3pm on.

    If by 87 you mean I-25, it's not bad. I just drove it this past weekend. No real delays to speak of, at the moment. A lot of the construction is happening on weeknights after 8 PM I think.

    I've got a fair amount of Green Bench kegs, Alpine stuff, and some other random specials/sours from Breakside, Bear Republic, Green Flash, RR, Ballast Point etc. but not sure if any will get on tap by the weekend. Might just be some Hoppin Frog and some of the Sierra Nevada specials we had - BA Narwahl, 2009 Bigfoot, BA Ovila Dubbel, Ovila Golden with Pomegranates, and Wolfinnany Wheatwine. All solid beers of course just not sure if that's what you're looking for. Also might have Prairie BOMB! and Standard on by then as well.

    Sounds like we need to check your place out, the wife loves sours and I do not. We enjoy a large spectrum of beer styles. Where can we find you?

    Star Bar had some very choice things on last time I was there, including Boneyard Notorious and Bell's Oarsman. I'd head there if you get the chance.

    Hit Tap n Handle, Choice City and the Mayor when you're in Fort Collins. They still have some cool things on from GABF.

    A little off topic but there is a cool bar in Loveland called Laurette. They have been getting some killer beers lately. They are tied to the Forge up in Fort Collins but for those in the area its a pretty good bar.

    You would have had to be here the week after GABF to get a good selection of specially tapped beers.
