    I'm flying into Denver tomorrow and was hoping to pick up some cans before I head up into the mountains. Do any stores in the city currently have Superfan?

    Any other suggestions are welcome too, but that is the beer that seems to keep coming up the most in this thread

    Hey guys. We tapped Batch 3 of Rare Trait on Saturday FYI. If you get a chance to stop in we'd love to hear your thoughts on it! A brief run-down of the changes from Batch 2:
    - Changed base malt provider from Canada Pils to Weyermann Pils.
    - Tweaked whirlpool hopping so that we could pack in more hops without increasing bitterness.
    - Dramatically changed our dry hopping procedure and quantity.

    Heads-up for the Superfan fans: we canned the first batch of beer from our new production facility today. It's called n00b, and it's a hazy IPA with Mosaic and El Dorado. We used this one-off as an opportunity to dial in the new system and be sure we could keep the haze levels where we want them while playing with some fun hops. It's available in cans and on draft in the tap room tonight. It starts hitting stores tomorrow.

    Very tasty. The recipe is different from Superfan because we weren't trying to recreate that beer. Completely different malt bill and hop bill. There are some things I like better about n00b and some things I like better about superfan. More importantly, let me know what you think.

    I know Denver deliveries are tomorrow with BoCo on Friday. I don't have the list of stores in front of me. (The typical accounts that turn over lots of our beer are likely candidates).

    I didn't have luck by the time I left. Mile High was a score though!
