    I haven't been to a liquor store lately so have no clue as to when, or even if, its hit the shelves. If it has hit the shelves and you have had the chance to check it out I was just curious as to what the final verdict is? Good, alright, worth the cost?

    On tap at Choice City and on shelves at Wilburs tonight, was tempted both times but didn't pull the trigger! Let me know too :slight_smile:

    Haven't seen it yet. I'll have to give it a try. I love most of their beers.

    have had it, very good for style. If I remember well, very effervescent and bubbly, almost too carbonated. Was a flavorful beer.

    The batch I had two years ago was pretty good, I'm tempted to get another but after Hiveranno and Bourbon Barrel Stout I'm gunshy.

    Haven't had either Hiveranno or Bourbon Barrel Stout but the last few single serve stuff seemed to be fine, I'd imagine/hope that streak can continue. I'd assume it would be interesting to see how this latest batch compares to the initial one.

    It should anyway, that place is fantastic. I've actually considered moving to Fort Collins just to be closer to that wonderful deli (slight exaggeration).

    Also liked this one when I had it last a few years ago, will definitely pick up a few bottles at least.

    Hit up Choice city earlier today.

    Off topic, the Colorado Buffalo Reuben sandwich....awesome.

    On topic, got to try Deconstruction Ale. Definitely enjoyed it and glad I got to drink it. It's definitely a good, enjoyable beer and one I would most definitely drink again on tap. Not sure its a beer that I need 22 oz of in a sitting (let alone at $14 a bottle) but at $5 for a half pint I was very happy with the experience. I actually could have taken a few more ounces of it.

    No kidding! Coming from Boston, I was surprised how awesome that sandwich is! Had it when they had Parabola on tap ;-) Don't mean to go off-topic but that is one of the best Reubens ever.

    As a fellow northeastern transplant, I share your initial skepticism and subsequent delight in it. First good reuben I probably have had out here in Colorado and it was fantastic. On top of that, definitely the best reuben and beer pairing I have had.
