Changes to Great Divide's Lineup for 2017

I'm quoting this and tagging @JackHorzempa because I think he'll be interested in the linked article.

 

Chris (@zid), thanks for tagging me.

"...not just because of competition in liquor stores, bars and restaurants, but from the sheer number of small, neighborhood breweries offering beer to go, in Crowlers and growlers."

I have a feeling that we will be hearing (reading) other breweries make similar comments. The craft beer market is certainly going through a change as new smaller (local) breweries open up at around 2 new breweries every day.

Cheers!

 

Oak Aged Yeti and Old Ruffian were faves. Sorry to see them go...

Not at all intrigued by any of the new stuff - maybe Hop Disciples, but I don't see a lot of fresh Great Divide IPAs out here with any regularity, (the only reason I haven't bought any Titan or Hercules in a long time), so I'm not too optimistic.

Oh, well. I do dig on their Chocolate and Espresso Yeti variants...

 

Any grumblings on if Rumble will be back?

 

Make it happen...

Rumble is obviously my #1, but I'd also love returns from the Dunkelweiss and Belgian Yeti. That era from Great Divide was my jam.

 

Happy to see samurai and could care less if oak aged Yeti is gone. I never could taste any oak in that beer. Probably because just like espresso Yeti, it is too hoppy. I'll really miss old ruffian, though recently that has tasted too hoppy as well. It used to taste exactly like the label, but now it is just hoppy throughout.
