    I have a friend visiting Colorado for the next week. Not sure exactly what part of Colorado. What beers should I have her try to find that I can't get here in the Finger Lakes region of NY?

    Casey Saison is pretty available in Denver if you go to the right shops. Mr. B's, Mile High, Small Batch, Grapevine often have some in stock. Especially if its right after a release.

    Pliny/Russian River has some limited distro to CO, so if you've never had Pliny or some of the other RR beers, they're always worth searching out. But the operative word there is 'search' and you have to keep your ear very close to the ground to hear when that train is coming.

    Mexican Chocolate from Copper Kettle.
    Senorita from Elevation Brewing.
    Trinity Red Swingline and Double Swingline.
    Dry Dock Vanilla Porter... IPA... Lots of goodies there.
    River North Saisons are pretty damn good.
    Ska's Modus Hoperandi is always on point.
    Odell's whole lineup is awesome and pretty sure NY doesn't get.

    Upslope makes an English Barleywine that blew my mind when I visited.
    Avery's higher ABV offerings were a real treat considering that we cannot get them in Georgia. On the more modest side, Lilikoi Kepolo was an extremely flavorful beer from them.
    Elevation's Belgian-style quads (Apis IV and False Summit) are worth a try.
