    Black IPAs are one of my favorite styles to drink this time of year, but are pretty much nonexistent. I love TRVE’s but I haven’t seen it in a while. Wookey Jack is supposed to be back but I haven’t seen it either. So . . . .

    What are you guys seeing on shelves? It can be anything distributed. Preferably canned/bottled, but open to on tap selections around Denver.

    I have been keeping my eyes out for Wookey Jack and haven't seen it either. At this point I'm thinking we probably aren't going to get it.

    The only one I've seen around town (anywhere) lately is from A Bit Twisted...a place with dubious branding that I can't vouch for. Still, maybe it's good?

    We got a drop of Big Hoppy cans from Lawson's back in November. It might be the best Black IPA I've ever had, so maybe that one will show up again?

    I too have yet to see Wooky Jack pop up anywhere. They made quite a big deal that it was going to be national so who knows whats going on.

    Looks like people are just now starting to see WJ on shelves in the other thread dedicated to it. Hopefully our stores will start getting some soon, too.

    Bring back Mountain Standard!

    The two I occasionally see on shelves are Sanitas and Resolute. Both are mediocre in my opinion.

    Exactly! Loved that and loved the one from Crabtree back in the day.

    I picked up Wookey Jack from Grapevine last week. I did see it on some social media posts for other liquor stores too, but I'm not sure shops got very much of it. Keep an eye out -- this batch is tasting awesome

    The fact that there's another beer being sold under the name Mountain Standard is lame as hell.

    I wish breweries would stop using existing names for new beers {Stares at New Belgium and whoever is contract brewing "Boulder" Beer these days}.

    "Boulder" beer is contract brewed at Sleeping Giant.
