colorado session beers

Some day, in the distant future, Wiley Roots will start putting their Carousel Gose into cans, and that day will be a glorious, glorious day. This beer is an awesome session beer and I'd love to take cans of it with me everywhere I go.

 

Wife and I drank a lot of Steamworks CO Kolsch when we were out last summer. Really enjoyed putting those down during the hot day.

 

Does Stillwater count since they're brewed here?

Either way, Shoegaze is fucking phenomenal.

 

Beerito has been reformulated and is now 4.5%, so it can be sold in Colorado liquor stores. Last summer it was only available @ bars, the Tasty Weasel, and grocery stores. In fact, I'm not sure it was being carried in grocery stores because I can't remember the last time I looked for beer at a grocery store. It was sold in Utah last summer and I bought a six pack in Pennsylvania last summer. With all the other Mexican style lagers available, OB's decision to make Beerito 4.0%, last summer, could ultimately cost them in the long run. Strange Decisions??

 

Beerito was definitely sold in my local King Soopers last year. I never bought any, but I did consider it a couple times. They also just happened to sell it on tap at the Old Chicago in the King Soopers parking lot. Not sure if it's significantly different or not, but I didn't dig the one I had this year as much as the one from last year. Last May we put down quite a few of those.

 

God dammit, I thought this was saison beers.

 

Perfect Drift from 4 Noses is a pretty damn fantastic german pilsner, and I could drink a six pack in one setting, which is saying a lot since I'm generally a one beer a night kinda guy.

 

It is different this year, I think the label this year that will be sold in liquor stores says something like, Mexican style Amber lager. The one I bought last year was very similar to Ska's Mexican logger.

 

Totally agreed with Howdy. Also, Ol' Zippy is perfect for warm weather sipping.

 

I've been drinking the hell out of Dayblazer over the last few months. It's like a slightly more bready Ska True Blonde.
The Ska mixed pack with ESB, Modus, and True Blonde has been disappearing so Dayblazer is getting my money instead.

 

been really enjoying Drumroll from Odell. flavorful and sessionable indeed. Perzik Saison from Avery is like 6.0%, but is still a nice summer beer I enjoy too.

 

I second the mention of Drumroll - a great pale ale. My go-to recently is New Belgium's Pilsener. A truly underrated beer, that I feel would perform admirably in a blind taste test where preconceived opinions of the brewer didn't cloud the taste buds.

Also Bootstrap Stick's Pale Ale. Another top-notch, underrated pale.

 

We're delivering our first summer seasonal can, Lemondrop Wheat, to stores across the Denver/Boulder area this week. It's brewed with Lemondrop hops and a hint of lemon, and at 4.5% it's sessionable and refreshing AF. Plus the cans look cool. On sale at Molly's through the end of May for $6.99.

 

Nice price point to boot!

 

Wow...you don't see too many $7 6-packs anymore. I really like that one (at least the draft one), too.

 

We're the Brewery of the Month at Molly's. All of our six packs, including Single Hop Simcoe IPA, are $6.99 through May 31! Get some.

 

Not quite in the ABV threshold, but gotta throw Wiggy Wiggy from Diebolt on any summer session list. I could hammer back quite a few on a nice hot day. The hibiscus is always on point.

 

Wit's End has a couple chuggers on. Their Berliner and "You're Killing me Smalls" are both under 5% ABV and damn good.
